why not go back to waterstones and return the book? If you prefer the other deal that is... (it's double the price that you paid though...) if it helps maybe all you need is one book, I've never bought a maya book... i just learnt as I went along (i have read small parts of books when at uni but it's been almost completley learning by doing.)
