I'm glad that it's a beginner's book. The whole poser community is sorely lacking for true beginner tutorials concentrated in ONE place. It's nice to have a book that you can draw from as you need it, without having to take to the internet to search out what you need. Yes, I know Dr. Geep works hard to put out newbie friendly tutorials, but it's still not a book :) I looked long and hard for a true newbie book for Poser 5, and the one that I did find was not released but they were taking advanced orders for it... only to find later that the publisher decided to not go ahead with the book after all.

"It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
