Not much help to the beginner

As a person trying to learn a new program from scratch, this book was not helpful as it should've been. Aside from the MAX interface and toolbar explanations, this book did not do much in explaining key functions. I understand one book, no matter how many pages it has, is not enough to explain in detail a complex program like MAX, but this book was just not helpful to me. I found the tutorials that come shipped with the 3ds MAX software to be much more user friendly and in-depth. In fact, I learned how to use the program mostly through the software tutorials than any reference books. If you are familiar with the format of the Wiley "Bibles" and like it, than buy this book. For me, this is my third "Bible" series from Wiley and I have not been satisfied with any one of them.
