It's aimed at Newbies. Maybe a few experienced will find it interesting.

2)I'm sure you are aware of some grammatical errors in the book. There aren't many but there are some badly misplaced commas which kind of change the meaning of what you are saying, so i would fix those.
Grammar of mine isn't a strong point.

Need to get it proof read.

3)Photos and videos. Especially now it is imperative that shooters DO BOTH if they are selling content online or shooting exclusives. There are several BIG link sites who accept galleries/free sites and they will NOT accept vid grabs for stills. They want actual stills if you are submitting an image gallery. And a gazillion other reasons.

To repeat- shooters should take stills and video for all content.
Need to read it again and make sure it covers both points properly.

4)Reflectors on hand. Don't know how much you get into reflectors but imo they can literally save you in a bind.
They are also very inexpensive.http://www.rugift.com/photocameras/1...-reflector.htm
Thanks, need to get in some links to firms like Lastolite. Also tell people to take a few white sheets, spreading those over a wooden floor or highly covered carpet can solve color in balance. Good point and that's what I need others reading it show what I left out.

That's it for now, I think it's shaping up nicely.
Thank you.
