Because he's too humble to blog about his latest endeavor, I'll take it upon myself to make mention of my colleague, Greg Staten's new book: The Avid Handbook. Billed as an intermediate level text, the Handbook is accessible to beginners while containing enough information that even most experienced power users will find useful tidbits. For veteran Avid editors making the transition from SD to HD workflows, and those needing to juggle multiple video formats, the book will help you avoid more headaches than a case of Tylenol.
This is the fifth edition of The Avid Handbook, originally penned by Steve Bayes. Anyone who has had the pleasure of attending one of Greg's presentations over the years will immediately recognize the book's new voice. For such a technical book, the style is very readable.
