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 instruction theory/creation (but I could be wrong, I’m using
secondhand info here since I haven’t gotten to Powertools’ coverage of BI’s
yet).

Well, based on that, I think Virtual Lego is the one for me.
I checked availability here in Australia at the local book shop today. There
is one copy in the whole of Australia, and it’s SEVENTY NINE DOLLARS!! (about
US$55). I ended up ordering it direct from No Starch Press for considerably
less than that.

I need to get off my butt and pass along some info so the Australian clubs can
bulk order them. Though as I recall, I’m waiting for something to be finalized
from the publisher - I’ll check up on that. The Australian distributor ordered
very few copies, I imagine the rest of the copies (minus the one) have already
sold out. If you are from a club in Australia and are interested, email me.

It wasn’t clear on the site - do they use surface or air mail?
|
For order fulfillment, I’m not sure.
