I'm pleased to announce the immediate release of a new eBook from Luminescence of Nature Press.  The Photographer's Guide to Silver Efex Pro is a comprehensive tutorial for making stunning black and white conversions using the popular plug-in from Nik Software.  The 218-page, interactive guide includes step-by-step instructions on how to use all of the features in Silver Efex Pro, and unlocks hidden features, like the image histogram.  The eBook also contains 15 embedded video files, narrated by me.  In all, you get a printable manual with approximately one hour of training video.
