Here's the only currently out poser book worth anything (see link), the other one on P5 was perpetrated by Shamms Mortier, it ain't worth the powder to blow it up! he's nothing more than a hack writer, don't bother with that pile of paper unless you get it free.

Why shouldn't speech be free? Very little of it is worth anything.

Charlie Tuna: Yay! Agreed 100%. Yes, I've already received my copy of "Secrets of Figure Creation With Poser 5" and it looks spectacular! Definitely a must have for advancing with Poser. If you have Poser 4 Pro Pack, I'd suggest "Poser 4 Pro Pack" -duh ;0) - by Richard Schrand. Ahhh, I see that Mr. Tuna has already listed it (by way of Amazon). :) Kuroyume

Hey Richter, Don't forget to check out the excellent Renderosity Poser Tutorials! Wonderful place to get started and you cannot beat the cost :) Although bloodsong's book is not really geared for beginners, it is still a must read and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in modeling - ladynimue
