The book has some great technique stuff. It is broken down into 7 sections. 1- Introduction by Jim Coudal 2- Chapt 1 - the project 3- Chapt 2 - the character 4- Chapt 3 - the Mansion 5- Chapt 4 - the Island 6- Chapt 5 - the Ocean 7- 3D Gallery with 3D glasses - pretty cool stuff About 150 pages in all. After my wife and kids fell asleep I read the intro and Chapt 1, hopefully tonight I can get through the rest. Just got my e-mail that my second copy is on its way...that one goes in the vault. Chris
