Thanks everyone!

As I said I have two books from the Learning Maya 7 series... so I think I will buy the rest of them too (they're really good I think).

Learning Maya 7: Foundation
Learning Maya 7: Modeling & Animation Handbook
Learning Maya 7: Special Effects Handbook
Learning Maya 7: Unlimied Features
Learning Maya 7: Discover the Game with Alias

Also...why are the video-tutorials at this homepage soooo expensive? Just one complete tutorial (with all parts) is about 78 Euro... and that's heck a lot of money for just one tutorial... and I really want ALL of them.... cause they look extremely good... but then you have to be a millionare to buy them
