yeah, that just dispelled any small chance of me ever buying it (not that this would have been very likely). as for promoting the book even before the app its created for is released? sounds like folly to me. ah well - this confirms my previous statement - a lot of people are out for a quick buck. also, when you edited the post to say 'It shouldn't take too long to do the book.', you forgot to delete the earlier post that says 'It shouldn't take too long to do the book, because it will be based on earlier versions of the Poser Handbook.'
