Well, it *could* turn out to be good, but, when one goes to:


http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1566047323/qid=917766352/sr=1-4/002-4512857-0647637


one sees that Milburn's and Warner's *The Flash 2 Animation Book" only received an average rating

of 3 stars out of a possible 5, from six reader-reviewers, with two one-star reviewers intimating

that the book added nothing of great value to The Manual, at least for newbies.


My own personal inclination is to learn via The Manual, this email list, the Lessons that come

with Flash, and the several teaching sites that have been posted here (another reason that we

need a FAQ, so anyone can find that list quickly).
