I have "The Complete Reference Maya 6" too. It's really good and you have both tutorials and explanations on almost every topic.

If you want a "walkthrough" book, you could buy the new Alias books (maybe not all of them). With these books you will learn the basics and much more by completing a whole project based on a short movie called “The ChubbChubbs!”. Personally, I prefer the "The Complete Reference Maya 6” kind of books.
