rumour has it the poser6 version is in the works ... at which point I'd expect the p5 version to be cheaper. And I agree, if your doing ANYTHING more complicated with poser than just loading premade content you most definately want this book. It also has a small section in the index for mac users, shows alternate methods for setup than just the p5 setup room, and has a number of utilities, links and demo versions of useful stuff on the cover cd. IMHO the troubleshooting section should be renamed "what to do when your legs fall off" (plus 8 of my textures are in the gallery section grins) Lyrra
