I'll probably keep it, but didn't realise there was no download of the referenced project files from the book until after purchase.Edit: Found this at Focal Press website (publishers of the book): [...]"Customers who buy an electronic version of the book can contact Dennis McGonagle (dennis.mcgonagle@taylorandfrancis.com) or Peter Linsley (peter.linsley@taylorandfrancis.com) with their receipt and Focal Press will grant access to the companion files."Have amended stars accordingly.

I have the how to cheat in Maya book which is great, but the kindle version of this book is just awful. It's like they tossed all the pages up in the air and put them back in the wrong order. There is good info here, just impossible to find. Doesn't anyone proof read the Kindle versions? And where is the CD they keep referring to?

For that quick HOW TOO. This is a great book. It allows anyone with AF to create really cool graffix. I think it's a book that should be in any video editors library.Glad I bought it.

in addition to being a great resource for the new comer it is a great reminder for experienced users. Sometimes I can't even remember how I did something after some time, This provides that reference as well as inspiration for a new approach.

Wonderful book seller more impressive. I recommend dealing with him. Thank
