Maya book

I'm looking for an introductory book on Maya. Any ideas?

What aspects of Maya do you want to learn? This is probably the wrong forum if you want to learn about how to use it to make shapes.

For MEL scripting, "MEL for Animators" seems pretty good, but I've only skimmed through it.

You may find Highend3d's Maya section useful. They have a mailing list you can join, too.

I'm not aware of any books about the API, but Bryan Ewert's MEL/Maya page has a few API how-tos.
