So, anyone know what's the best 3D Studio Max book out there? I don't mean the books made for professionals, I'm looking for one that will teach a beginner (me). Everything from the basics to the more complex.

Hep Hep. i would suggest doing a search for "3d Studio Max" on Amazon.com, cuz they always have fairly good reviews by readers wich gives you the best overview over usability.

For stricly effects ( fire , water , explosions , rockets , etc. )
3D studio max 2 Effects Magic
( I think they had one for max 3 , but I never got it . Seeing as how everything you can do in max 2 , you can do in max 3 ( in theory ))

My old 2.5 book is stored away at the moment but i think it was a Sams one.
Sams teach yourself 3dstudio Max 2.5 in 14 days.
There are versions out for newer versions also nd they come with a cd with extra scripts etc. and a full range of tutorials with scenes for you to play around with.
