Excellent tutorial

It's simple. Copy the lessons from the cd to your hard drive then follow along in the book with each lesson.The lesson's are short movie clips that you work on to add effects,trim, or delete to make a short movie. The cd provides you with a final "movie" for each lesson so you will know what you are trying to achieve. This book is for the beginner. I would say there are few advanced tips in this book. If you are new to Premier elements or just can't grasp how it works this is an excellent book for you. The book I purchased was written for an earlier edition of Premier Elements, but I could relate all of it to PE 3.0. There were few differences.

If you are a beginner in video or Premiere Elements, this might be a good "2nd book purchase".

If you have used an "Adobe Classroom in a Book" before, you know what this one is like. If you are a beginner in video or Premiere Elements, this might be a good "second book purchase". After you finish the lessons you can skim through the users manual and get what few details are left out here. The only criticism that I have about this book is that a proofreader did obviously not check it.

Great Introduction to a complex subject

Not sure why someone would think this is the manual. It is not the manual, it is a separate book with a DVD full of projects to work on and step by step exercises on things like Editing and Transistions, special effects and titles and how to make a DVD. I found this book to be a great introduction to working with video on my computer- I chose Premiere Elements because it let me burn a DVD from the program. The chapter in the book is much better than anything in the manual as it tells you how to set up chapters and make a menu. For someone who didin't know anything about video this book introduced me to the subject in a way that was easy to follow.
