Not very helpful but pretty

Of all the 3D total books I've read, this one's been the most helpful to me. I've used several of the exercises repeatedly to help loosen up my too-tight-and-literal hand, or to create something specific.

This book looks like a great resource to organize 40 to 80 hours of my time to jump start my ability to go from concept to completed photoshop rendering within a day.
