Shake 4 quick reference guide

A quick google search reveals many copies for $20 and under. Apparently people selling used copies are ******** and think they can get over $100 for a book that Peachpit(the publisher) still sells on their site for $22.49.

a book that Peachpit(the publisher) still sells on their site for $22.49.

Yes, but since it's out of print, ordering it from Peachpit is pointless.

It seems like it would be a cool book, but I've never seen a copy.
Anyone here have it? Is it wonderful?

Perhaps if we all order it from Peachpit at the same time,
they'll reprint it.

4 of these sellers that don't have the crazy price say they have it in stock:

I've been lucky and found this litlle book last year in a Kinokuniya bookstore in Singapore.
Its a great timesaver for everyone who's new to nodal compositing and starts with Shake.
The interface and workflow can be really confusing for newbies, so having a reference like this is great. I use Shake only ocassionaly - this books helps me to refresh my memory quickly when needed.
I really can't understand why Peachpit can't reprint this - or at least sell it as a e-book.

I think we all should contact Peachpits customer service and give them a hint...

Yeah, good idea. I just ordered the book on-line. Let's all order it and write them
and maybe something will happen.
