This book is claimed to be for dummies, but even at this level, many of the ideas in Truespace 3 are presented poorly - i.e. it is just DESCRIPTION of the tools and offer no ideas in how to APPLY them. There is just no point in buying a manual which you already have. I strongly recommend Truespace 2 Bible - which is also for 'dummies' but explores many of the tools with EXAMPLES and ILLUSTRATIONS.
