I've played around with GIMP for awhile now but it was basically just playing around. I didn't really have a lot of time to try and "trial-and-error" my way through actually learning it so I stuck with what I already knew and did the best I could. Then Michael Hammel's book was delivered to my door. Wow! Move over PhotoShop. The GIMP has entered the building.

This is and isn't a "how-to" book on the GIMP. Yes, Chapter 1 is a crash course in the nuts and bolts of using GIMP's features but the author says he's not going to throw every possible control and setting at you right from the start. You'll learn that as you go through the tutorials in each chapter and probably (my opinion) once you get through the book and build up a level of comfort using GIMP, you'll discover new things on your own.
