how not to write a book
This book is highly irritating for eight reasons: 1. It constantly tries to SELL you on VRML. Every tenth word is "exciting". 2. It tells you all sorts of irrelevant stuff, like VMRL 1.0, early VRML history. 3. It gives almost no examples. 4. It has almost no illustrations of what the VRML will render to...

how not to write a book,
By
This review is from: Building Vrml Worlds (Paperback)
This book is highly irritating for eight reasons:
1. It constantly tries to SELL you on VRML. Every tenth word is "exciting". 2. It tells you all sorts of irrelevant stuff, like VMRL 1.0, early VRML history. 3. It gives almost no examples. 4. It has almost no illustrations of what the VRML will render to. 5. It reads like a W3C reference manual. It constantly presumes you already know everything so there is no need to explain anything. 6. Here is an example of some prose that tells you that you must write "Shape { geometry Sphere" in that order. "For geometry nodes to appear to the viewer, they must be contained by a Shape node and they can only appear in a geometry field of a Shape node. Geometry nodes can't be children of group nodes because they aren't leaf nodes. Geometry nodes, therefore,must be contained by Shape nodes. The shape node contains one Geometry node in its geometry field." ALL THIS WITHOUT A SINGLE EXAMPLE OF WHAT THE HECK HE IS TALKING ABOUT. 7. You come out the end not able to even do anything more complex than the two simplest W3C examples. 8. 3/4 of the book has nothing to do with how to write VRML.
