AI books ?

[RustAndMagic]

Hi!
I noticed that there are some modern Moho books popping up on Amazon (Moho 14), for example "Moho Pro 14:The Animator’s Complete Workflow Guide" by a Kristoff Linden, I cannot find anything about the author and there are no reviews of these books, they are all short, 130-140 pages or so, pretty cheap, the amazon description feel's like a bullet list, has anyone here read or bought any of these books ? they feel a bit AI generated to me, I guess an AI generated book may not be bad by itself, but if they do not have the patience to actually write a book, I don't have the patience to read it.

I can find most things on internet and the Moho manuals are good so no need to actually buy a book, but if it is actually good useful information it might be fun to have, but only if it is a "real" book.

I say stay away, don't touch it with a 10 foot stick. Just the cover is a giveaway: any decent animation book would feature some art, not random stock photo people grinning at a laptop. Additionally Amazon's further recommendations feature more scam (get rich with crypto, get rich with AI).

... for example "Moho Pro 14:The Animator’s Complete Workflow Guide" by a Kristoff Linden, I cannot find anything about the author and there are no reviews ...

look at the publication date of the cited work -- 6 December 2025. And the snippet on Amazon (UK) I browsed didn't fill me with confidence that it was written by someone who knew enough about Moho and animation. E.g., unless someone here can tell me I've missed something, I don't think there are "Camera Layers" in Moho which, according to the book's index, are described on p45.

and, IMO, the asking price (UK £11.26) is not cheap

I'm looking at a couple of the other 'Moho 14' books. Some of them can't even be bothered to put a cartoon illustration on the cover.
