The book is about 300 pages dedicated to the 40D. The book is extremely detailed. Basically, everything you will need to know including the included software that came with the 40D. It's written in a very personal way from David Busch and its kinda like having him actually there. Highly recommended.
If you have a Canon 40D you need this book December 25, 2007

If you have a Canon 40D you need this book. It has great pictures and illustrations and explains each setting on the Canon 40D and why you care. It's the equivalent of a "missing manual". Do yourself a favor, read this book and skip the unreadable manual.
Excellent manual for Canon 40D March 5, 2008

This is one of the better books written for a camera. I have owned several other books over the years for my cameras, particularly the DSLR camera, as it is just easier than slogging through the manual. I liked the Dennis Curtin books but they are so cheaply reproduced that I couldn't bring myself to pay for another. This is well written, easy to comprehend, good quality paper and photos. Highly recommend; very useful for a sophisticated camera like the 40D to really learn to use it's many functions.
If this is your first DSLR, this book is a must own. March 17, 2008

This book covers, in plain English, all the features, options and functions, of the 40D. You won't be disappointed. Before I bought this book, I read the manual that comes with the camera. Even thought the manual is great for getting you the "how-to" do something, this book, gives you more of the "why you should do it" and "what happens" if you do something a certain way. I suppose you could just trial-and-error everything instead, some people are like that, but if you're not that kind of person and want to be able to master your new camera, this book will certainly help you do that more quickly.
This is the one! April 6, 2008

Go no further! This is the one book you are looking for. I've been handling cameras professionally for nearly fifty years but this time I had to master the vexing mysteries of the Canon 40D virtually overnight and then do a hugely complex, on location, get-it-right-the-first-time photo shoot at New York City Opera the next day. No re-shoots possible! This book got me through it with flying colors. Its layout is dazzlingly simple and logical, even soothing to that incipient hysteria inherent in approaching an object with a lot of strange and threatening buttons and dials for the first time. Not only that, but it's a lot cheaper than living on tranquilizers and less embarrassing than patting a security blanket. Buy this book!
