I did a search on Amazon.com tonight for "poser" and discovered a nifty book to be published this October. It's called "The Poser 5 and Propack Handbook" published by Graphics Series.

Book publishers are known to be pretty firm with their release schedules so I just betcha Curious Labs feels confident on having us our new baby this fall. I seriously doubt the book would have a release date without a great amount certainty Poser 5 will be available by then.

The only thing I haven't seen mentioned before is a blurb on the front cover about plugins. Since it covers P5 and ProPack, you think there may be a new Propack specifically for P5?

I love Poser 4, but I can't wait to have a decent requester for pose libraries... and hopefully python scripting... and the new rendering engine and... all the other new stuff!
