book hasn't been out that long though... and in the past it's been a pain to get in the UK.

This is going to be a short user review of Scott's X2 Power book. 

This can be used in any way Scott wishes.  

Now to the review. The thing that is most noticeable is the size. This book is large. But there is no wasted space. What this size allows is bigger graphics and more information on each page. Its well put together from a user perspective. 
   

To John and all who missed the Sonar X1 Power! book.   The new size was started with X1 Power.  I also loved the bigger size as it is easier to hold reading in a comfy chair.  Anyway as John says, "no wasted space".

Now to the review.
Hey John... thanks for that excellent review! I really appreciate it.


Only if you have the time... would you consider posting it over in the Cakewalk Store and on Amazon?


I would do it myself, but I can't. Only the person that wrote the review can actually post the review on those retail sites.


Thanks!
Scott

I agree with John, this book is extremely readable! We've come to expect the best from Scott, and he doesn't disappoint... A MUST for any user (like me) who sometimes feels overwhelmed by the sheer size of X2.  Just skim the TOC and you'll see it all put into perspective, then dive in. 
I'll probably skim once and read cover to cover twice. 
Hey Rob... thanks very much! I'll ask you too... but again, only if you have the time... can you post your review over in the Cakewalk Store and on Amazon?


Thanks!
Scott

Hrmph. I ordered mine on 9th Jan and my order still says despatching 29th Apr!  Ah well, good things are worth waiting for! 
Hey John, Fog, and Colin... that's great news. It seems as though the book is arriving sooner than expected this time. It's true that in the past I believe it took longer to get it out the UK (and other places).


Thanks and I hope you enjoy it!

Hey Clint... that's true. The bigger dimensions also brought the page count down, but the same amount of information is still in there. If the book was put out in the old size, the page count would be more like 600+ so there's nothing missing with the larger size.


Thanks!
