>And there are not that many books. Michelle's, Steven Elliots, mine – not so many >and these three books target VERY different audiences (I think). Earlier in this thread someone mentioned a book by J. Jester on 3DStudio. And what about Todd Payne? He put a message about his book as well as a text file (AMR.TXT). But, I'm not complaining. As I said, I will buy them all (I already got Michelle's) as soon as they're available. And, since there weren't ANY books before, I consider five books (counting Michelle's series as one "entry") a veritible "feast" (perhaps glut was mischosen — I doubt whether I'll get "full" reading them all). And, yes, I do understand the economics of publishing — that was why I was so curious as to the sudden interest in print. But it's wonderful, and if your book is even half as helpful as Michelle's series I'll get my money's worth. But as to the audience — am I wrong in assuming I won't want them all? I mean, I'm not an architect, but I want to learn and hear as much about 3DStudio as possible. Just reading the BBS messages is great — so how do you think the various books are targeted?
