Yeah yeah yeah your video is somewhat the exception to that statement...
Premiere has issues with like windowing with a nice feathered edge. It's just so so easy in After Effects. I love Premiere and prefer to work with it over After Effects... actually I haven't made any major projects in After Effects.... Just I can't stand how you must determine a composition size, BEFORE you make it.. Just not very flexible. GRrr
Just I don't think Premiere is worth a book on.... :p
They're not going to tell you how to do the l33t effects that Ian did in SRV....
Most books just tell you the basics and actually go more into detail about using the transitions and exporting your video for television

which won't really help you here.
and the Premiere manual is very detailed anyways!
