Book: Model, Rig, Animate with 3ds max 7

[_Odd_Alien]

Hi,

I've been surfing around on this forum for a while, but this is my first post(and question):

I'd like to learn how to Rig (and animate afterwards) in 3ds max. Since I think (and read) I should start with a book, I was wondering whether anyone of you knows this one: Model, Rig, Animate with 3ds max 7
If you do, please tell me whether is worth buying it.
Or are there better books to start with? (I know the basics about moddeling, but not much about rigging.)

Thx

PS: I've started a simular thread on CGTalk, but I hope to get some answers here too. (I hope this is no problem?)

Anyone with other suggestions for learning how to rig in max?
At the moment, I am doing the included tutorials. I am thinking about buying the Animator's Survivalkit for learning how to animate.
