Anyway, so this book was bought as a backup and I was concerned that the style might be a bit dry and the whole thing might be unreadable.

I ended up buying Mike Collins' 'Pro Tools 8: Music Production, Recording, Editing and Mixing', mostly because it looked pretty thorough and actually had a whole section on the Score Editor (the other books seemed to be saying 'Gee! There's a score editor' and then plugging right on with telling you how to edit MIDI data in the piano roll - NOT helpful for a classical musician who wants to know all there is to know about using real notes in Pro Tools), and got this one as a backup because the Collins is firstly aimed at PTHD users (although it says it should be fine for LE, but I wanted a cross-reference) and secondly is more for the user who doesn't need the basics, whereas I felt a reference for basic editing stuff couldn't hurt. So I zoomed off to Foyles' to see what they had. Issue 1 was that while there's a bunch of PT8 books available to pre-order on Amazon, there's barely anything available Right Now. I had to bolt out to buy a book on PTLE8 in a hurry last week because I suddenly discovered that I needed the new version of the software (which I'd barely used at all in 5 years) for a project which was due at the end of the week.

Summary: A fantastic book for the beginner-Pro Tools user or early-stage user wanting a refresher course, comprising explanation of features for the main part of the book, plus hands-on projects at the end.
