Book Reviews of DJing for Dummies
Book Review: Great for novices and professionals alike!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've never read one of the "... for Dummy" books before so I was unsure of how basic they break down a topic. "DJing for Dummies" was thorough, from selecting equipment to beatmatching, from demo creation to club management relations. It is an EASY read but doesn't "talk down to the reader". I have been DJing for 12 years and, although I knew most of the contents of the books through self teaching and experience, there were still many tidbits of information that I 1) never knew, 2) forgot or 3) wasn't doing it per the book's recommendation. If you are a beginner, this book will certainly help you get on your way into the business. If you're a seasoned DJ, this book can still be a great reference for you. Hey, it even inspired me to splurge on a new MIXER !!! : )) Highly recommended!!!!
