What is custom duty/charge?

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order?

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges?

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.

A hefty book and offers step by step instructions and in-depth explanations. It’s easy to follow, even in complicated things like setting up a brush for foliage (saves so much time from drawing individual leaves!)I particularly like the final chapter which guides you on ‘Finding your own manga look’, where it explains how certain tools can produce certain styles and how these styles can be interpretedIt’s a great book to have on hand if you want to move beyond the basics of the program and speed up your work process.

This was a must-have for me for learning the software! Really, I couldn't have done it without this book, as the youtube and online manual can only do so much for me (the people on youtube go way too fast and often don't tell you why they are doing something). I have found digital art, let alone software animation, to be EXTREMEMLY hard to grasp for several years now, so recently I've decided to get this book and buckle down tight, because I very much desire to master this art. I use the book alongside youtube and the online tutorials and blogs. With the book, I put aside my deeply ingrained aversion to writing in books (thanks, public school!) and decided to write all I wanted inside of it. I use labeled tape flags to mark my most needed sections and also put in star stickers and highlights wherever needed. It's fun to glam up my Clip Studio bible LOL. Whenever I find information either in the book or online, that I know I need but was really hard to find, I write notes on the blank pages at the back with highlights to help remind me what to do. This plan is working very well for me! Do whatever you need to do to learn, it's ok! ^_^ And yes, don't hesitate to buy this book if you need extra help learning Clip Studio, it's very worth it. And make the book your own!

It explains to tools in the program to make it easier to make manga and comic books with out having to repeat steps over and over and shows you how to ajust the tools to your liking

Update, 4/10/22. I've read most of the book now so I would like to update my review. This is a very useful book and it goes over how to set up your Workspace and how to use each tool in detail. It has many useful hints. I think some sections and tips are a bit randomly organized together but if you read it carefully, it is very helpful. My only wish is that the image quality is poor and it is b&w. But the actual content is very good. The rest can be supplemented by online and YouTube.----It is black and white inside and poor image quality though the color images are downloadable from a website. It does go through different aspects. I'm not sure if I will use it. Probably better to get from library or watch Youtube videos.

I've been using CSP to create professional manga for over 10 years and still learned new things from this book. The chapters are organised clearly so it's not a struggle to look for a quick reference on specific topics. The instructions are written in simple, straight forward language, though kids might struggle to understand some of the jargons. Having said that, I would still recommend my manga class students (kids, teens and adults) to purchase this book, so when they've forgotten the things they've done in class, they can look it up themself.I think the price is reasonable and would be well worth the investment especially for those who'd only started using the software for less than 5 years. CSP gets updated from time to time with added new features, but the book covers the basic features that never gets changed. You can look up tutorials online for free but this book takes away the hustle and will save you time wasted on badly written tutorials online.
