The Essential Blender: Guide to 3D Creation with the Open Source Suite Blender, Book/CD PackageThe Essential Blender: Guide to 3D Creation with the Open Source Suite Blender, Book/CD Package by Roland Hess
Buy new: £20.59 / Used from: £18.45
In my opinion, still the best 'beginner' book for Blender, but let down by unclear illustrations. Nice mix of 'tech' discussion with hands-on sessions.
Blender for DummiesBlender for Dummies by Jason van Gumster
Buy new: £11.46 / Used from: £11.67
Reads like a manual, if that's what you want. IMO, let down by a lack of actual tutorials. I found it a bit dull.
Introducing Character Animation with BlenderIntroducing Character Animation with Blender by Tony Mullen
Buy new: £16.42 / Used from: £15.99
Soon to be reprinted, I think - hopefully without the lethal typos and ommissions that ruined this otherwise great book.
Animating with Blender: How to Create Short Animations from Start to FinishAnimating with Blender: How to Create Short Animations from Start to Finish by Roland Hess
Buy new: £15.06 / Used from: £14.19
Follow a project from start to finish, learning a professional approach.
Bounce, Tumble, and Splash!: Simulating the Physical World with Blender 3DBounce, Tumble, and Splash!: Simulating the Physical World with Blender 3D by Tony Mullen
Buy new: £20.42 / Used from: £18.14
SUPER book for learning how to do some of that jaw-dropping eye-candy stuff in Blender. Highly recommended.
Blender 3D Architecture, Buildings, and SceneryBlender 3D Architecture, Buildings, and Scenery by Allan Brito
Buy new: £23.74 / Used from: £37.47
Extended tutorial on how to create the scene on the cover. Great if architecture is your thing.
The Official Blender 2.3 GuideThe Official Blender 2.3 Guide by T. Roosendaal
Buy used from: £15.99
Still a fairly useful reference, but less necessary now because of the rapid advances in the software and the other great books listed here.
The Official Blender GamekitThe Official Blender Gamekit by T. Roosendaal
Buy used from: £39.95
Pretty out of date and in fact it's available for free on the Blender website (Beware amazon sellers trying to charge you £40 for it!!) A new updated version is also available there.
The Blender BookThe Blender Book by Carsten Wartmann
Buy used from: £2.01
A good book at the time, but almost totally outdated now. BTW, buying any of these books from the Blender site helps to finance the software.
