I had it the first day it came out from Amazon.com Prime. In fact I sent Chip and email and will have my review up shortly. Also, I have it posted on my Facebook, Friendster and Twitter links reviewed there.
I have always liked the work they do over at "geekatplay.com" and think Ami and Vladimir do a real nice job and seem like professionals in their discussions.

Quote - So Jeff, what did you think? Well written?
Jon
In a word, YES. My review will be up shortly and I also have it on the social network sites mentioned above. It was also sent out to my Twitter followers.
Having reviewed and examined the book the only thing I thought may be improved is a few more photos of some key elements they are talking about in the book. Otherwise, I thought it was another quality item from Ami and Vladimir at geekatplay.com and recommended.
If you want a link to my review and details when published send me a PM here.

I have been using Vue 7 Artist Series for a short time (months) and like it a lot. However, I have to admit that my use of the function editor is kind of hit-or-miss. The user documentation comes up a little short on explaining how to use it. I'm wondering if someone can comment on how well the Function Editor is covered in the new books recently published?

Functions and Filters are covered in Chapter 9. It does a good job of giving you the basics to learn to use these and there is a lesson at the end as a short example. However, it is not totally in-depth, but enough to get you started. I think if you combine this with the video tutorial over at geekatplay.com it should be what you are looking for.
