Hi Fahad!
I bought 3 books to learn Blender:
"The Essential Blender" by Roland Hess
"Beginning Blender" by Lance Flavel
"Blender for Dummies" by Jason Gumster

I like them all, "Blender for Dummies" is very good and you can by a used c=
opy on Amazon.com very cheap. Don't be confused by the title. It is not an =
insult. "The Essential Blender" has a lot of tutorial about rigging human c=
haracters for games. "Beginning Blender" is also good and more recent than =
the other two books.

The new Blender has a different interface and it is confusing to people who=
 are working from older tutorials because most of the books are working wit=
h the old interface of Blender 4.29. Mostly, you just have to play with it =
to learn it. Press keys R,S,G and Shift + A and press the number keys. Then=
 you are cooking. :-)
