1.5.4.2.2 Books, Magazines and CD-ROMs

If you would like to print our documentation, it is available in a number of formats that are designed for printing. In particular, PDF, postscript, and TeX. See the POV-Ray website for more details.

Unfortunately all English language books on POV-Ray are out of print and there are no plans to reprint them. However there are now several POV-Ray books available in Japanese. Many popular computer magazines have been authorized to distribute POV-Ray on cover CD's. From time to time we, the makers of POV-Ray, will ourselves make CDROM's available, either direct from our website or from authorized distributors. See the our website for more information, as that location will always contain the most up-to-date details.
