Just what I've needed

You could call me a retard with a passion. I've had 3ds for quite a while, and have only just begun to REALLY understand how the program makes sense since reading this book. The organization is excellent, and concise. Unlike video tutorials (at least those from VTC which are really lousy and expensive), just the fact that its a book makes it better for addressing multiple scenarios. The experienced, not-idiot user however may feel a little insulted by the REALLY specific points, however they may still like it as a reference book that it is also great for. The only thing is that I don't believe (I'm about a third through it) that it has anything about rigging and other advanced operations but at an inch thick, for getting down fundimantals down, I consider this book invaluable.
