Me too for Vue. But at curiouslabs apparently we have no choice. Only one choice for me, the one for 71 $:-(. You know that Poser 3 was for free in many magazines a while ago. If you cannot afford P5 right now, maybe you may have a look in all sorts of computer magazines. I have one for free, but it is in French language, this would not help you, I think, otherwise I could send it to you. And there is no book of course.
