Summary: LW 8 Killer Tips - A Must for Lightwave Users
Comment: Dan and Randy have just hit a home run with this book. It's jammed packed with helpful hints which save time. The faster ray trace tip is worth the price alone. A book with this much info for under $30.00 is a no brainer. Buy it!

Summary: Falls Flatter than a 2D Object
Comment: I am a big fan of Dan Ablan's previous Lightwave books. He is a great instructor and very talented 3D professional. So I purchased "Lightwave 8 Killer Tips" hoping to learn new things specific to version 8...
Disappointingly, this book falls flatter than a 2D object. Nearly all of the tips mentioned are "old news" to anyone with a basic understanding of older versions of Lightwave. Only about five percent of the material in this book has anything to do with features specific to version 8.
I wouldn't be as upset if the book were titled "Lightwave Killer Tips, Including A Handful For Version 8". That's because I wouldn't have bought it.
I can only recommend this book to rank beginners who don't know many Lightwave operational tips in general. So the book is not a complete stinker. But it's not worth $39 either.

Summary: great for what it is
Comment: This is a great little book of tips. It never claims that you will be making the next star wars. It is a book of great little hidden tips. The types that are under rated, but really make a difference. Leave the heavy stuff to the "inside Lightwave 8" book. Which is well worth the money-however it's a HUGE book. This is real quick and easy to read, and you can jump to the section you want. Hell, i even found the humor made the book less tedious. Good work guys!
