If you are a beginner to 3d graphics and 3ds max i would recommend this book.
It starts at the beginnings with simple explanations of all the buzzwords that 3d users are so fond of using.
There are lots of screenshots to help you orient yourself with all the tools and menus.
This book was a great resource when I had to learn 3DS Max 7 and get up to speed with it very quickly. The examples are simple enough to learn the concepts and then apply these to your own needs.

Complete course in a book-a great value
5 Feb 2005
This is a complete (at 800 pages, I do mean complete) introduction to 3ds max 7 that doesn't assume you know it all. The tutorials walk you through the all the steps painlessly, and it's loaded with clear screenshots so you know what to do what and when. The steps are all clearly integrated with the CD.
I haven't made it to anywhere near the end yet, but by the time I do I think I'll be at a solid intermediate level.

Good for beginners

Has everything a beginner to 3d modeling would need, and comes with a tutorial CD. takes you step by step and explains what all the buttons mean. I recommend.

Not what I was hoping for...
10 Feb 2005
After going through the excellent tutorials that accompany 3DS Max 7, I was hoping this book would be equally helpful and take me to the next level. Unfortunately, this isn't the case. The tutorials are very basic and the projects uninspired.
