The Carrara "5" Handbook was supposed to cover the new features of Carrara 5 as it states on its cover. In this area it fails miserably. I think its rating of two cows (or less) applies to this book because of how it was promoted and what its title states. It is not a Carrara 5 Handbook. It is an introduction to Carrara. In fact in comparing it to The Carrara 3 Handbook it is not much better than a rehash of the same stuff. I bought the book and found it virtually useless and I am a far shot from a Carrara expert. That is why I bought the book in the first place (because of what it claimed to be). It is a deception,
