Introducing Maya 2009 Sybex / Wiley Customer service is great! So is this book.
 
Review Date: August 4, 2009
Reviewer: Derek A. Bentley, Seattle, WA USA
First I would like to thank Wiley customer service for promptly sending me a new "Introducing Maya 2009" book after I called to inform them my book was falling apart. Like some other reviews on here stated, the binding started coming apart, and pages/chunks of the book fell out after a few days of use. They sent a replacement UPS Ground, and it arrived in perfect condition.

As for the book itself I found the tutorials well written, and easy to follow. I would recommend this book as the best starter book for learning Maya 2009. Using this book my transition from using 3DS Max to Maya was a breeze.
Introducing Maya 2009 Update on the book's manufacturing quality
 
Review Date: November 2, 2009
Reviewer: D. Laudick,
I'm not reviewing the book, rather I'm just updating on the quality of the books binding. I contacted the Sybex customer support to ask them about the binding and whether or not it had been fixed yet. As of 8/09 (August 2009), the binding is reported to be fixed and should no longer have the problem.

[02:51:46 PM] Jay: Yes, the binding issues had been fixed as on 08/09.

Just thought I'd let everyone know.
