Okay, so I've got my pics into iPhoto.

I can't find anything to introduce me to how to use iPhoto barring video
tutorials. They impart nothing to me.

(Surely I can't be the only person who learns nothing from modern video
tutorials for software? What about some actual written words, eh?
Pfft...)

Anyone got a pointer to some way of getting the hang of the basic way
iPhoto works, what it does, how to use it?

Cheers,
Rowland.

Perhaps:

<http://www.amazon.co.uk/iPhoto-09-Missing-David-Pogue/dp/0596801440/ref
=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1281380987&sr=1-1> (iPhoto '09 - The
Missing Manual)

or

<http://www.amazon.co.uk/iPhoto-09-Dummies-Angelo-Micheletti/dp/04704337
1X/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1281380987&sr=1-2> (iPhoto '09 For
Dummies)

Never used either so can't vouch for them.

If you don't mind spending a bit of money on an eBook, I can recommend

Oi vey.

Thanks for the tips (Mike and Jim).

I can't see any sanity in buying a manual to try to find out if I might
possibly have some use for the software in question.

Cheers in any case - but are there any sources of information about
iPhoto that I can access without having to spend any more money?

Anything that'll let me get to grips with what the hell it's *FOR* and
its operational paradigms and so on.

- 'cos at the moment, I look at it and go `Durr?'

Rowland.
