I'm brand new to macros. This is the first one. It creates a stack of books
and one can specify where, how many, etc. and everything else is left up to
the random number generator.

It took about an hour an 8 minutes to render this scene with radiosity and
whatnot. I then took it to gimp to do a couple of effects. I do hope you
enjoy. :-)

Nicely done! Now, include also some random rotation about the y-axis!

Yes. But isn't Gilles Tran better at everything? Anyhoo, I've just started
mine. I want to make their size more random as well... and the rotation
stuff.

Aahh.... Gilles is the bright star in the distance that we are unable to
reach, despite all our efforts  :-)
But he is inspiring, so.... keep on the good work!!

What about applying a small-scale gradient y normal to the page blocks?
