Just finished reviewing the book "Instant Adobe Story Starter' by Christopher Tilford. It's a bit hard to give it an honest review as I don't have the Adobe Story program to test it against. I will say that if the program is as good as the book then the book probably isn't necessary. Everything seems simple and intuitive which is what you want in a program. Though, it never hurts to have a good resource handy to get the most out of the program's features.posted at [...]Book available at: [...]

This could be worth more if it explained more about the features in the free version vs the paid. There is so much going on with Story that there could be another hundred pages added to this book which would be worth at least nine dollars but with just three dollars the information is lacking content.All and all it was okay.
