I think you are dead on Fazzel. This is absolutly the manual that ought to have shipped with the program --the "Reference Manual" only as a PDF. I really am sad about this since it was a not inconsiderable expenditure for me. I learned far more from the much maligned R. Shams Mortier book which was actually pretty good for a new Poser 4 user. From the Revealed promo text I though I would get the slightly dumbed down version of "Character Creation" I need but it realy did come down to just a paragraph or two about each program function with no attempt to discuss optimized work flow or creative possibilities. I wish I had spent the money on content that is for sure!
