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).

I’m just curious - what are the significant differences, if any, between
this book and the Power Tools book? Everyone has differnt requirements and I
just want to know which one best suits my needs. I’m interested in getting
one of these books, but it will only be one of them (amazon’s postage
charges to Aus are, not to put too fine a point on it, extortionate). Has
anyone posted a comprehensive review of each of the books anywhere - the
one’s on amazon are too vague.

I’d love to see a comparison/contrast review of the two books! Can anyone
who’s read both give Allister a quick comparison for his shopping needs?

I almost forgot, on the (US) Amazon page for Virtual LEGO, you can buy the two
books together for a discount:

Not sure if this offer is good for Australia.

| (...) Actually, this isn't true, and is a very good example of deceptive advertising on Amazon's part. Add up Amazon's price for the two books individually, and you get the same price they list there. The "discount" is off the standard list price, (...)

| (...) Allister - I've gone through about 1/3 of Powertools, and I'd say the material is organized a bit differently. Virtual LEGO devotes an entire chapter to parts authoring, and from what I've heard, it goes into greater depth with building (...)
