Hi there from Vancouver, B.C…. I got the book for Christmas, so… ISBN number is 1 -56205-303-5 Published by New Riders Publishing Cost here is about $55.00 to $70.00 Canadian dollar The book comes with a CD-ROM disk which includes more or less the following: 200 Megabytes of texture maps, all custom, many animated, all not available elsewhere 3 IPAS routines (not demo versions) which will do: 1.) produce cat-tails 2.) pastel-ize any image, in Video Post 3.) hmmm, can't find the 3rd one offhand All of the texture maps and mesh files required for the "effects". which span 17 chapters. Don't know if it's for sale in Germany, but you could order it, of course. I would recommend it without hesitation, since it gives in-depth methods for creating numerous effects. My only complaint is that a number of the effects call for 3-rd party IPAS routines, which cost $$$. However, the included mesh files and texture maps are worth more than the cost of the book, so, ??? If you have any more questions, give me a call at 71175, 2104 yvt, gary
