First let me state that this review is after a cursory preview of the book.
Colby Brown has done an excellent job at putting together a thorough and well organized book to help other photographers better understand and get more use out of Google+.
Google+ is an awesome place for photographers to share their work with the world, see amazing work that other talented photographers are doing, and start or participate in live hangouts to share more with others who are as obsessed with photography as they are!
As Google+ is still relatively the new kid on the block, having a book like Google+ for Photographers is very helpful for photogs to quickly learn how they can get more out of this new platform.
Colby clearly covers the key things that most photographers will, or should, be concerned about. Copyright issues and TOS; photo presentation, editing and management; Hangouts, etc…
One thing that I thought was very fresh, innovative and helpful was the inclusion of short interviews of other (some, very well known) photographers and their perspective on Google+, and how they use it. How cool is that?
If I were to suggest anyway that the book could’ve been better… Hmmm, as I have very little time to read these days, I do love audio books. I don’t know if that would be the best medium for this content, as it is focused on photography, but maybe worth considering? Just a thought.
If you’d like to take a peak for yourself, you can see it here:

Thanks again, Colby!
