I really like most of the books from wordware. I also like to get books from Barnes and Nobles...the ones on cars, aircraft, buildings etc. They make great reference :)

Thanks guys.... if we worked any closer with NewTek on these books we would have an office in San Antonio. :D

Look for all our updates and a few more from us this year including a Modeling book by Steve Warner (modeling god), and an LScript book by several folks... including Brian Pace and Emanuele Salvucci!!

Lots coming!!

Excellent to hear. Thank you!
You know, most people came on board around 5.6 or 6.0, but they forget that the first book on LightWave was way back in 1996, version 5.0 - The LightWave Power Guide. That's when they introduced opengl - oooohhh.... :)
Now nearly 10 years later, there's 7 LW books total. We're talking about the next, as it turns out. More info to come....
