Hi All, Thanks for the great input. Family's fine, life is good! THis project caught me by complete surprise, but who the heck am I to argue? Anyway, this book will be as visual as I can make it. If you pick up one of Thomson's IGNITE! books, it is basically a bunch of screenshots with some minimal text. For Poser, there is no way to include that many screens, since the page count is limited to 500 pages and I could spend that on the Material Room alone. So the idea is to skim over things that can be safely skimmed over, thus saving room for what matters. And of course, what matters depends on who you're asking... So right off the bat, the decision was made to focus on newer users to get them up and running and creating cool art/animations using some of the advanced functionality (hair, cloth, materials, etc.). Then, if that sells well, the door would be open for a more advanced book that goes into Python in detail, CR2 editing, etc. etc. One of the key things is going to be to see how much new stuff really is in Poser 6- which I should start to know more about in a couple of weeks. But back to the book for a second. Far as I know, the best-selling Poser book out there has sold just over 6,000 copies. My goal is 10,000. I think that discussing Poser 4-6 will help this a lot, that making it visual will also help, that involving the community from the start will also help, and so forth. Also, I have one advantage my competitors don't: I worked at CL for over 2 years. THough some will doubtless label that a liability :-). Anthony
