After I ordered this book from Amazon I received notice a week or so later that it was out of stock. Then I see that someone is selling this book in the "other sources" section for nearly $100. I decided to look around and found the guide available directly from Lasersoft for $33.32 including delivery. So, while it remains out of stock at Amazon, I suggest you try the lasersoft site and order it directly from them.

Silverfast is a wonderful program which offers users advanced control over the scanning process. Unfortunately, until Mr Tally's book, the only source of information concerning the program was a poorly written manual provided by the Silverfast Company. Mr Tally has come up with a clear, concise description of the controls, the presets, and the theory which supports the program, so that a user can both grasp the program and harnass its considerable power. For anyone interested in mastering the important process of scanning, both the software and Mr Tally's book are mandatory.
