hi there. I just have finished the first 45 Pages of Mastering Maya 8.5. It is very interesting. It covers a lot about the Maya interface but I've got to say that it is a bit boring sometimes. But I think it is useful. The english is very nice and for a english fool like me it is very well written

But I think I will buy another book in addition because this one I'm reading is more a reference but it is nice, infact!!!

The learning maya series is really cool I looked in it too

So far I have to say I like the interface of Maya!
