Not introductory nor reference material

I bought because it seemed to cover the subjects in more details when Java 3D tutorial could not. However the Java3D tutorial of Sun is much more detailed and instructive when compared to this book. I extensivly needed Geometry Info sturctures info (i.e. building Shape3D s with custom points) however the book gaved the whole topic in a few paragraphs as it does in other topics.

There are no accompanying CD that include code, thus it is again harder to see techniques. The book is amateurishly composed, and the code examples are very difficult to read (no emphasizations, no bold lines, no comment highlightings...)

I recommend this book only if you can afford a book that will not help you much and urgently need a Java3D book.
