I have only recently gotten this book and, of the 400 some pages, have only read about 50. At this point I would say that it is perfect for the neophyte Finale user, and I, a WinFin user since 1.1, have learned some things I didn't know in those first 50 pages. It is also useful because it covers Finale 2003. There is a CD included which has most of the third party plug-ins including SharpEye and Dolet (full-featured demos). I did notice that there were some things missing in the index: Grace Notes and something else which I can't remember.
Even after the short time I have had the book I would recommend it for both new and long of tooth users.
