Mine, pre-ordered ages ago, arrived from amazon.co.uk today!

I now have both Ldraw books, but it's too early for me to draw comparisons.

I left it on the table today when my father-in-law visited, and after
browsing through it for 1/2 hour or so he wanted to come and give MLCad a
try on my PC, which can't be a bad thing...

Hey everyone!
Writing to let you know that the book Virtual LEGO (by yours truly, Steve • Bliss,
and Ahui Herrera) has finally hit the shelves! It is now shipping from
Amazon.com and showing up in your local bookstore soon (if its not there
already).

Its also available immediately from the publisher, • <http://www.nostarch.com No
Starch Press>, at <http://www.nostarch.com/vlego.htm>.

This book is a lenghty tutorial on how to use the LDraw suite of tools to • create
your own virtual LEGO models on your computer, render photo-realistic • scenes,
and output your own custom building instructions! We've packed it with • reference
material and practical insight to help you as you learn. The CD-ROM comes • with
an installer that will configure the software automatically for you - you • don't
have to jump through hoops a la LDraw.org installation pages to get • started :-)

So far, its gotten great reviews from people who have commented to us on • it
(Orion, Jake, Eric S...), so that makes us happy. :-) I hope the book is
informative and educational.

Enjoy!

-Tim
