hello brain,i would like to buy the book, do you know or any one else of any german or european reseller?
Hi Kzin,
We don't have an official German reseller but you could try computer book stores. Also, we (Mesmer.com) ship internationally, and Amazon might.
Hi Kzin, Just order from Mesmer Directly like i did =o) Theyre sending me a copy as we speak, here to Germany. When you order directly from Mesmer you get a discount and if I remember the shipping is about ten bucks.

How would this book apply to XSI 3.0? It looks like 3.0 has changed dramatically in this area, so I wonder if it would be of use to me?
I dont think there are any bumps to worry about with this. The Mixer tools, IK, weighting tools are all in the same place etc. So far it has been a treat to me to have this book sitting on my desk for the past week. I think though since A. Rossano always has his hands in the newest version of XSI you could email him to ask for particular issues. =o)
Hey, seems like this book is very popular in Germany. I orded it directl from Messmer, too, and it came within one week.But they wanted customs (about 4Euro) for the book, so the shipping came about 14Euro.By the way: Great book!
Got this book quite a while ago and it is very detailed and quite advanced which was exactly what i was looking for. covers in depth except texture/ materials,and focusses on animation/ rigging etc. Get it , and applys to v3.0 even though written for v2.Alan- Ireland
I just got mine today, don't know why I waited so long but just skimming through the pages Im glad I bought it!!
Mesmer Rocks!!
