This author has written several books for graphic apps and most are panned pretty badly in in the reader reviews at Amazon. I have never bought or even read one, so I really can't comment. I am NOT recommending this book! Just starting crazy rumors on the the release of Poser 5! I was just browsing Amazon since I got 10% off coupon to lure me back since I haven't ordered anything from them in about a year. All my money goes to the MP here and Daz. lol. Anyway, just wanted to share the info. I mostly lurk here, but I thought this was "post worthy" I know we'd all like to see P5 as soon as possible.
