This book only to find out it's for version 5.5... Not a cheap book, as I already have purchased it.

If you are a novice make sure you get Vol. 1 it is really great. I bought volume two because I learned so much from volume one and what a great AE reference book to have sitting on you shelf. Whenever I have a question the book has an example that I can apply to my project.

I am very happy with the book to this point. Classroom in a book provided the basic stepping stones to get up and running, Advanced Techniquies is getting to the meat of the matter and moving my skills up to the next several level, or perhaps better stated as several layers.
