I'm not sure what I was expecting, but it looked good from flipping through it at the library. Not really worth much to me--it should be titled something along the lines of "Photo Apps for iPhones" because it goes into great detail about how to use those. And honestly, it seems most apps--with the exception of tiltshiftfocus--offer the same exact filters and options. So I guess I thought the iPhone had more capabilities for taking pictures without downloading any apps and that this book would show me how to use it. But really, even an iPhone is only a phone, and that's why I have my DSLR.
The redeeming feature was the "spark your creativity" exercise at the end, but really I think this is a very very basic photography guide at best.

I wouldn't say this book is a MUST READ but it was fun to read. I discovered several new apps (some of which became favorites) thanks to the book's recommendations, and reading about other "iphoneographer"s styles provided some inspiration.

This book was inspirational in terms of providing examples, exercises, and website information. There's a lot of basic Apple information and many of the apps cost money. (You can find free versions of similar apps and so just look around a bit.)
