Becoming a Computer Animator

Both of these books are introductory texts for 3D imaging and animation.
They are not trueSpace books per-se, but they do focus alot of attention
on tS because of its use in their tutorials. They both include CD-ROMs
with trial versions of trueSpace and sample textures, models, and animations.
They also come with trial versions of other 3D software.
The trueSpace 2.0 Bible
Author: Plantec, Peter
Sams Publishing
This highly anticipated book is being authored by the TSML's own Peter
Plantec. At 800 pages (!), this book is the complete reference tome for
trueSpace. Peters approach of the book is as a reference for becoming a
professional or at least turning out professional grade work. So there
is be quite a bit of helpful information from the doing-it-as-a-business
angle, as well as coverage of the intangible animation qualities that separate
the amateurs from the pros -- like cinematic lighting and art direction.
Further, the book includes sample images and animations from other members
of the TSML and a CDROM. A must have for any TrueSpace fanatic! :)
