We bought this for our grandson’s second birthday. He is fascinated with our neighborhood garbage truck and has to wave to the men every week. This toy is great! Very well made and durable. He loves playing with it especially pushing it on the tile (it zooms!) My 9 mo. old grandchild loves turning it upside down and pushing the wheels. I would highly recommend this toy.Flip ‘n’ Tip Fred

I bought this for my 18 month old son, who, like other reviewers’ sons, is crazy about the neighborhood garbage and recycling trucks. This thing is like fort knox … unbreakable. He carries it around by the “handle” on the top, knocks it on things, has dropped it several times, brings it on trips with us, etc., and it just keeps going. He loves taking the drivers in and out, loves the garbage chute where the containers come out, and loves to make it “go” with the engine noise rumbling. We are getting him the WOW table and a few new vehicles for his second birthday and hope he loves them just as much! This a great buy!

The price seemed a bit steep, but this toy has proven its worth. The toy has many pieces and functions that make it a great toy to share and a great toy to keep a kid busy. My [...] son enjoys it, but it really fascinated my friend’s 3 and [...] sons. It seems sturdy enough to outlast a decent amount of rough play.

This truly is the first toy that has really excited my son. He is obsessed with the neighborhood trash and recycling trucks and plays pretend with the trash cans in our house, so I wanted to get him a more appropriate toy than our real garbage. He loves this “trash truck” and plays with it well by himself. He uses the little people to play pretend and has fun manipulating the different parts and dumping the trash cans. I love that it is kid powered and doesn’t use batteries and he loves that it moves and makes sounds (it is quite loud) – wonderful innovation.

My kids, 2 and 5, both play with this truck. It isn’t battery powered and annoying like other trucks. Yet, this thing can really take off when the kids push it. They like moving it about the house and taking the cans and people in and out of it. If your kids like garbage trucks and have good imaginations, they will probably like this truck. (My kids run to the window upon hearing our neighborhood garbage truck.) If not, they may be bored.

I was not able to use this book. I found it confusing and overly technical.

This book provides examples of how to do certain special effects.

It was definitely more of a “tips and tricks” book than it was a learning resource. Just follow the steps, and go “WOW” just like the title.

It doesn’t really explain in detail how the trick was done and why you’re doing a certain step. Most photoshop gurus will just scoff at this book, and most newbies will walk away amazed, but no smarter about photoshop than before they read it.

The latter portions of the book was nothing more than a summary of the different photoshop filters found in commercial filter packages. I question why thoese filters were even in the book; it seemed like advertising that does not benefit the readers.

I bought this book on it’s graphics alone, and I was rewarded by my choice. The only reason that I didn’t give it 5 stars is that the tutorials could be a little less confusing. As well as a couple of mistakes that I had to write in the book to remind myself of. Other than that, the price of the book is almost worth it just to get the cd. The actions included are unstoppable. Plus the tutorials, which as I previously stated could be a little clearer, compliment the actions on the disk. Giving you the step-by-step to mimic them(actions). Plus you can amaze and astound your friends with the techniques learned from this book. I definitely recommend it.

This book was more than incredible, being a professional designer I envy the creators of this book. With a simple and easy to follow layout, the book describes amazing techniques which will astonish anyone. It effectively describes every aspect of photoshop and how to use it. Even for beginners, this book is a smash hit! It features images by people from intustrial light and magic (Made Star Wars) and it has great details on rotoscoping quicktime movies! If all else fails, there is a CD included that contains over 50 actions, filter demos, and images, A definite MUST BUY!

For Print or web use this book has some nifty tricks to apply to your work, I found it easy to follow but I can see where newbies or (ahem!) people without a manual could get lost quick.

If you are looking to add something special to your portfolio but dont have any ideas this book might be the one for you!
