MadDog31, I really think you wont be disappointed. As has been said, this book is considered to be the Bryce bible of books. Its a rather thick book with lots and lots of information. Not the kind of book that you could expect to read in a night and think that the next day youll have total control over the software. To the contrary, it will make you aware of Bryces intricacies and how wonderfully complicated this relatively reasonably priced piece of software really is. Im sure you will spend many nights up, exploring through the book, trying to understand the workings of this awesome program. Remember, most important of all, is to have fun. Enjoy!
