There is a book in the works by Eric Hall which is purported to be very
good.  The original publishing date had been November 1990, but I've heard
that's been pushed back to February or March 1991.  I think the publisher
will be either Tab or Sybex.

There are lots of 4D user groups in various parts of the country.  I'm
not aware of one in Kansas, however.  If you're a serious user of 4D,
you should establish an account on Compuserve, where an incredibly
active and helpful ACIUS forum exists (it's almost an online user
group).  If there's a local group in Kansas, that's where you'll
hear about it; if not and you want to form one, that's where you'll find
the largest number of interested people.
