Wow... I'm glad you guys said it. I have never, in my entire life been more miffed at a poor excuse of a book of any kind than one I bought from Amazon by Mr. Mortier. I considered placing a post of warning about his new Poser 5 Handbook (or whatever it is called) but didn't because I hadn't read it or know enough about Poser to be objective. (I'm gonna start learning soon though, hopefully with the help of some of you people when I'm stuck). I couldn't slam a guy in good concience about a book that I havent seen but I can say this: I bought "Modeling in Lightwave" by this guy and it was absolute trash. I learned nothing at all and had more success poking around mindlessly without any of his "help". I bought it because I was having trouble with the manuals and wanted another resource but there was zero constructive information at all in there. I left a one star rating on it at Amazon because it wouldn't let me enter anything less. Another reviewer said it best: The most informative page in the entire book is pg. 413. It is blank. It is the only book on Lightwave that virtually guarantees that you will be a worse artist after you read it." Stay away.
