Mark mate, don't have Barnes & Noble in the U.K. but thanks anyway.

I have just looked at Sybex's Website and much to my delight they have a sample chapter that comes in *.pdf format which I have downloaded and looked at. Not only does the book cover character modeling but texturing, rigging and animating too! It also includes a chapter on Deep Paint - I think I'll stick to Photoshop for the moment.

Anyway, it looks like just what I am after so I think I'll order my copy today and then give it a review on this website - I am sure Kevin would appreciate that.

I'm all excited again, was miserable this morning...
