I don't know if this question has been addressed but: If we assume that this book is for real (and that it really covers Poser5), then why are we, the LARGEST Poser community, only hearing about it now? Why haven't we heard ANY kind of release date (actual or projected) for Poser 5? Why do we have to find out like this- by finding a pre-release offer of a book, rather than an official announcement from Curious Labs? Then again, maybe the publishers added a "5" to the title of the book so buyers wouldn't think it was obsolete IF Poser 5 came out before the book was printed. Or maybe the publishers want a longer shelf-life before they have to reprint it to cover the new features in Poser 5. It may be worthwhile for someone to pick up the book and actually see if it covers any of the features of Poser 5 (such as the ones listed by Steve Cooper, in other posts). If the book DOES cover these new features, then we'll get a good taste of what's to come. If the book DOESN'T include the new features, then it's false advertising! --John
