Penultimate sentence. Looks like it is missing a final word. "Click the Choose Library button to show the program where you put your."

Can't believe I noticed a typo! ME? I never see them.

You forgot to mention that if you can have iPhoto perform an OR search by holding down the shift key when
clicking on additional keywords.

2nd paragraph & Frequently Asked Questions box

There's a bit of confusion about which slider combinations you are recommending. There are a few
different methods you mention, some which do not exist or are contradict each other:
1. ONLY the Levels control
2. Levels AND Exposure
3. "the dynamic duo of Exposure and Contrast"
4. Brightness and Contrast

You state "If you've already adjusted your image using the Levels controls, then you probably won't need
to play with Exposure and Contrast." Then in the FAQ box, you say "...I can create a well-balanced
histogram with the Exposure and Levels sliders." That seems to contradict your first statement that you
don't need to mess with the Exposure slider if using the Levels controls. Further on in the FAQ box, you
say "...you may as well get into the habit of using the Exposure and Levels sliders." So which is it? Are
you supposed to use the Levels sliders on their own or use both the Levels sliders and the Exposure
sliders together?

In the second sentence in the FAQ box you say "the Brightness and Contrast sliders do pretty much the
same thing." The problem is, there is no Brightness slider in iPhoto '08.

Though out the text it seems that you are saying you should choose between using only the Levels control
or using the Exposure and Contrast sliders. The FAQ box seems to confuse things.

This book references the Missing CD in a few places. There is no missing CD on the Missing Manual website.

This is a great book - however, it references the Missing CD in a few places. There is no missing CD on the Missing Manual website. Big deficiency.

"One of the beauties of the Missing Manuals is that there is always something new to discover and the research is quite thorough...I kept finding snippets of information, in the way of Tips or Notes, that would give just that bit extra."
