It depends on what you want to do do with 3D, that would depend on any recommendations we could do.

For foundation work my recommendation would be Alias Foundation Book. Covers the basics of modelling and animation etc...

Maya 7 - https://www.amazon.com/Learning-Maya-.../dp/1894893743 (US)
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Learning-May.../dp/1894893743 (UK)

Beyond that get hold of a book that is specific to the trade you want to do with 3D. Mikes books for games (he has 2 published) are very good.
