available online at http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/imoviemm2/ : iMovie 2: The Missing Manual by David Pogue — highly recommended resource. As the Web site says, "covers every step of iMovie video production, from choosing and using a digital camcorder to burning the finished work onto CDs. Far deeper and more detailed than the meager set of online help screens included with iMovie, the book helps iMovie 2 users realize the software's potential as a breakthrough in overcoming the cost, complexity, and difficulty of desktop video production."
