I bought the book at the DAW last Friday for £65 and then found out that Graphics Domain are providing the books from this country not Canada (therefore no fedex) with 10% discount on top of that. Here's there URL:

They also provide other training materials on CD.
I would say that although the DVD thing is coming out I prefer to have a book that I can flick through as opposed to a CD on screen. It easier to refer to and you can read it on the train or in the bath.
I would also look out for this book Maya Character Animation by Jaejin Choi price £47.99 ISBN: 0-7821-4171-4 that is being published by Sybex in December:
