this book they review seems very good and i would have loved to get this book when i was trying to learn vercotorworks but instead i detected to play with the program for a wile and then i figured it out some what. so i think i might get this book to more master the program and learn more because i have a very bask understanding of it and dont under stand the program 100 percent at all. i thin that this was a great article because it open my eyes to a book that i would have never have know existed. so i think i will try to get this book.
I'd love to get a copy of this, and like Robert would have loved to have this book a few years ago when I was teaching myself VW. I'm sure it still has tons of valuable information and tricks I just haven't figured out yet--just sort of a pricey little book for me right now. It would be a grand one to add to my growing collection of theater books -- perhaps one I would actually get the chance to end up reading. I find, as the case is so many of these books, I end up reading a few chapters at a time, and only the ones I need at that moment, which really isn't the way to learn.
Although I have been using VW for some time, this still would be a great resource. I think it would be great source to have.
The idea of having an LD do their own how-to book on VW is quite exciting. While the company is good about producing their own how-to's, having tips from a designer as to how they use software is useful. I always enjoy seeing examples of people's plot, how the convey information...etc. more than anything.
