[ale] Recommendations for basic blender tutorial?

[Richard Faulkner]

Hi Charles!

I started messing with Blender3D back in '05 and bought the official
book and found it useful.  Price back then was about $45 and I found it
helpful for GUI and project tutorials.  I still have it if you're
interested in checking it out...

So I had my first encounter with Blender ( http://www.blender.org/ )
this weekend.  I was very impressed. But it's clear that even learning
to hack some basic shapes in Blender is gonna take some guidance.  I
poked around the web a little and found some video tutorials, but I
can't load them in another tab or hold them in my lap and refer to
them.  Does anyone have a recommendation for a good basic Blender
book?  There're 7 or 8 at bn.com, including a couple of incredibly
evil search composite books and a Dummies book.  Anyone out there seen
something worthwhile?  I'm primarily interested in making solid files
for 3d printing, rather than animation.
