Atlantis, thanks for the update. Like that no need to order from the net already.
With the favourable exchange rate for the US dollar, it may be worth it to buy online, even factoring in shipping charges. Can also save on shipping charges by going thru VPost. Currently excahnge rate is about US$1=S$1.38. Price of the book is about S$30.36, excluding shipping charges.
I think amazon does send to Singapore cheap!

Personally, I think you can get more Canon-specific information by subscribing to eos magazine:
http://www.eos-magazine.com/
Unfortunately only one issue per quarter so you only get 4 magazines a year. But I learned many things related to Canon like how their flash works with respect to the various EOS camera bodies both digital and film.
You can buy the last quarter issue from Canon Vivocity showroom for $10.00 only, actually cheaper than the subscription. After that you can judge whether it is worth subscribing or not.

Thanks, will drop in to Canon Vivocity to check out the magazine. Is the past quarter issue always available. Can one go there every quarter to buy the past quarter's issue?
Sure, but it may decrease the resale value ... (!)

Actually paying $10 is cheaper than subscribing from the UK. Unfortunately you can only subscribe locally if you belong to the Canon Professional club.
My subscription had already ended so I hope I can get the current issue from Vivocity but the last time I visited there they still had the Oct-Dec 07 issue.
Really, this magazine is the best if you want to know in-depth detail of your Canon cameras and lenses.

Wow thanks, I am thrilled!
You can send the book to me via snail-mail, I will autograph it, and send it back. I will include an autographed world championship fencing print to anyone who wants one. Also, because I'm sponsored by ACD Systems, if you want a fully functional (but time-limited) free demo disk of ACDSee Pro, I will throw that in as well.
Please email me privately and I will send you the address to use. You can email me at timacheff@yahoo.com or serge@fencingphotos.com.

Saw this book at Bugis Kinokuniya. I think the price is 40+ or slightly more. Can't remember the exact pricing.
Sure ... just email me at timacheff@yahoo.com and I'll send it to you.
Is it the 2007 World Fencing Championships photo on page 109 or the page 257? Both are superbly timed shots that beautifully capture, not only the speed, but also the aggressiveness of this elegant sport.
Nice.
And I enjoyed the book very much. It contains not only technical stuff (which doesn't get too heavy going) but also much practical advice, like advice and information a friend would give to another.
I can certainly feel Serge's passion for Canon EOS (just like mine..lol)
