  I think one of the major problems I have with Kelby's books is that he doesn't explain much about what his photos are showing you.  This is a major drawback to his book, as his text ends up being totally misleading because he is assuming things about your setup.
For example, we get people on here who claim Kelby recommends all images in a single directory.
We got that enough that I went and actually read that section of his book, to see what he is really doing.
Turns out he recommends what most of us do here, using a *top-level* directory to hold all of your folders in date orgainzed format.  But, since he is using the default LR date organiztion, it only shows up in his image captures of what he is doing, it doesnt' showup in his text.  Thus people read that to mean all images in a single folder, which causes all sorts of problems as they go forward.
Because of those types of lazy misunderstandings, I can not and do not recommend his books, even if I thought they were better than Martin's, which I don't. :}
Cheers!
