Congratulations! | New Product Review and Tutorial | Blog Contest Winner

Let's start off Friday on a bit of a congratulatory note! We got a press release in the office yesterday, letting us know that Scott Kelby's Digital Photography Book made history as the best selling Digital Photography Book ever!! The press release is talking about incredible amounts of books sold (like a quarter million), and I for one could not be happier for Scott. Watching him work on a book is really a matter of art, and to be able to connect with as many people as he does is an amazing feat.

His blog post also pointed out that his Digital Photography Book Volume 2 book is selling at twice the clip of his Vol 1 book, which is even a cooler feat. The Vol 1 book is probably my all time fav book from Scott because of the sheer amount of tips, but the Vol 2 book is a special one for me, having been able to play a small part in it.

From the staff over on the Layers side of the house. Congratulations! You couldn't deserve the honor more!
