I am sorry, but the title itself already says it - so why would you buy a book about processing RAW if you do not have a camera capable of giving you this format? To blame the editor for not giving you what already the title tells you what it is all about is somewhat - well, shall I say: flawed?

Useless without access to RAW files

I was wondering why you would need sample files for this book when, if already using Adobe CS2 you could shoot your own RAW files and mess around with them?
It would be hard to have examlpes of RAW files listed someplace on the web for example when the fact is that most RAW files are somewhere around 12mb to start!
I think you are giving the book a bad rap and may chase away others that do understand what working with RAW files means and how this book is a great info source for people using CS2.

Canon has a few cameras that support the RAW format as do many other companies, look around, you can pick up a good camera for around $600.00 to $3000.00.

Later Dude!
