wow expensive to get the cd-rom for USD39.9 which is about S$70.
It is well worth the money and more. Remember your camera costs about $2K and to this you add several $Ks if you use prime lenses or several $100s otherwise. The cost of this book is a mere fraction and it will improve your D70 skills greatly.
Another book I highly recommend is Ron Reznick's eBook Digital Photography -- Acquisition and Processing Techniques (suited to all D-series cameras but very detailed in technique and processing) found at
http://www.digital-images.net/eBook/ebook.html Ron's book costs US$75 which may seem rather expensive but I got it and I think its a gem too.
When we go out on a weekend, we easily spend $50 or more on movies, meal etc. For a family man like me, its easily over $100 per outing. And we go out most weekends! Either one (or both) of these books improves your skill to greater levels and the experience lasts you forever.
But ultimately it is to each his own. It all depends on how you look at photography and what you want to put in it, and your budget. However if you can get a (photographic) mentor it is priceless, worth more than any book
