As far as that "Revealed Book", I think including a decent documentation like that is the best means of combating piracy...ship decent manuals. But to sell the thing seperately as somehow going beyond basic reference is a huge misrepresentation, it was marketed as dealing with artistic/creative character and scene creation while as far as I can tell it is a reasonable and certainly competent "hack" job of rewriting the referance manual by a technical writer with no apparent experience of using the actual product in question... this is strictly a technical writing product manual and should have been included in the box set. Based on the promo sent in my box set and the pre-publication promo from the publisher, I had expected the book to be a series of articals authored by actual expert Poser users and/or content providers... something like the Photoshop Wow! books... maybe just a plain old Poser BETA-tester would have done. I imagine that if the author is a Poser user of any sort they frequent this forum regularly and can re-assure me that they have used the application several times prior to writing the book ;) Don't get me wrong, it is nice manual writing... very clear writing, but it would be of use only to someone with no prior experience of using Poser, it will not as far as I can tell be of much use for anyone upgrading to P6 from an earlier version if they are in actual possesion of the referance manual. I can't sell software I don't use because of EULA but I imagine it is kosher for me to try to unload Reavealed at a used book store... its in mint condition :) I am being realy hard, its just cause I needed that money (I had it shipped international and paid import and brokerage fees and 15% taxes on the sucker) and I feel the promo was a missrepresentation... they could have just put the words basic, elementry, novice somewher in thier sales shtick... not that I qualitfy as much beyond novice after all these years, I had been hoping the book would tackle the next level. But it realy is nicely written book and would be a good value to a novice starting off in Poser with Poser 6. Especially one to whom the cost of the book isn't an issue. I am a strictly $1 table book buyer unfortunately. So yeah, buy the book if you are new to Poser.
