Title: The Non-Designer's Design Book, Second Edition Publisher: Peachpit Press Authors: Robin Williams Rating: 5/5  This basic guide to design principles is not only clearly written, it "walks the walk" as well as "talks the talk". That is, the basic principles are demonstrated clearly by the book's many "before and after" graphic examples. It is non-technical and easy to understand. It focuses on a few core ideas that will help anybody improve his or her ability to design attractive printed material. There is some overlap between this and the author's book on web design (The Nondesigners' Web Book), but I found both worthwhile.

Title: Final Cut Express 2 Editing Workshop (DV Expert Series) Publisher: CMP Books Authors: Tom Wolsky Rating: 5/5 I'm working on my first project in FCE after making the switch from iMovie and Tom's book has been an extremely useful resource during this process. The DVD that comes with the book has a great introduction which is geared toward iMovie users, and once you dig into the book you will find that everything is explained in a way that is easy to understand. I highly recommend this book to anyone making the move from iMovie to Final Cut Express.

Title: Operating System Concepts Publisher: Wiley Authors: Abraham Silberschatz, Greg Gagne, Peter Baer Galvin Rating: 5/5 Good book for learning OS principles for undergrad and lower grad students. I recommend this for hose wanting an introduction to OS Internals. I prefer this to Modern OS by Tanenbaum.

Title: Mastering Windows XP Professional Publisher: Sybex Inc Authors: Mark Minasi Rating: 3/5  Don't waste your money on this one unless you never used any version of windows at all. While simple topics are given extensive and repetitive coverage, many advanced items are sketchy, if addressed at all. Many pages are devoted to such irrelevant subjects as how to start with scripting and HTML. At the same time it gives less than 1 page (yes, less than one!)to a subject like IIS. Overall, very poor coverage of admin tools and very few examples of best practices. Recently I had a chance to look through Windows XP inside out. I wish I bought that one instead..
