As it happens I emailed Peachtree about real World Bryce 4 a week or so ago. I just rec'd a reply advising that the release date has been moved up to June 2000. I'm getting frustrated with the continual delays and have no idea what is causing the hold-up. However, based upon the version 2 book I'm inclined to wait. Ms. Kitchens (spelling?) did a wonderful job with it and I like to think the delay is simply that she wants to do equally well with this new edition. Coriolis has a book out called Bryce 4 f/x and design. It's not too bad I suppose but it is probably best suited to one who has very little experience with Bryce. Overall, I found Ms. Kitchens book much more useful- even if it is two versions out of date.
