Every time I open the book, I get sucked into reading another incredibly useful tip. Robin emphasizes a workflow that uses powerful but affordable tools (like Kerkythea and GIMP) for photo-rendering, but he also talks about creating better animations, using other Google tools for context modeling, adding entourage, matching photos and plenty more. SketchUp 7.1 for Architectural Visualization is a treasure trove of information about making your SketchUp models look their best. My favorite chapter title: "How To Collect An Arsenal Rambo Would Be Proud Of"

My favorite thing about Robin de Jongh's excellent new SketchUp book is the clever writing I tend to like my technical reading to be entertaining, too.
