I get the majority of my information from magazines and networks such as CIS. There are a number of books on multimedia and Amiga video, specifically but I don't have any and couldn't make any recommendations. However, if you get yourself a copy of "AC's Guide to the Amiga" (published by PiM (800)345-3360) which should be coming out soon (published twice a year, winter & summer) it lists books, videos and other educational materials along with a nearly complete listing of ALL Amiga products and services. There is a magazine called "Video Toaster User" which deals with, well, the video toaster (published by AVID (800)886-0048 US$36/yr) which has good professional coverage and "Amiga Video/Graphics" (published by Pacific Media, (800)233-4284) which has more general coverage. The other two Amiga specific publications, "Amiga World" & "A/C Amiga" are both worthwhile but usually deal with very generalized topics. Also, various open platform video mags might be useful. I generally find mags are a better source of info than books because the info is more current but as I mentioned there are some books & videos out there. You might be able to get an personal intoduction by contacting a local Amiga or Toaster dealer/user group. Also, if you call NewTek at (800) 765-3406 you will be able to receive a FREE demo tape. Anyway, I hope this info is useful to you. Andrew
