Virtual LEGO: The Official LDraw.org Guide to LDraw Tools for Windows
by Tim Courtney, Steve Bliss, and Ahui Herrera

We are thrilled to have the opportunity to publish this book, targeted
for release in May, 2003. LDraw.org will also have an announcement and
link shortly. This will be the first book officially endorsed by
LDraw.org.

Virtual LEGO is an introduction to the LDraw suite of software, which
allows users to create and document computer-generated LEGO models.
Written by the maintainers of LDraw.org, the book includes coverage of
popular tools such as LDraw, POV-Ray, MLCAD, L3P, 3PAO, and LPub.
You'll learn how to use these software packages to build your own
creations, make 3D scenes, and create building instructions. The CD-ROM
contains all the software readers need to get started, all available
LEGO parts models, templates for building instruction layouts, a
collection of custom models by LEGO builders worldwide, and a gallery
of beautifully rendered scenes created using the advanced techniques in
the book's POV-Ray chapters.

For more book info and pre-orders, see http://www.nostarch.com/vlego.htm
For more info on LDraw, see http://www.ldraw.org/

We hope you enjoy the book!
