Practical Poser 7 is a good one. The tutorials are easy to follow . But one thing. the tuts are not really for Poser beginner and some of them you need other materials to folow the lessons. This is a point whit one i am disappointed. It is not self contained with all materials needed to do the tutorials. The face room, cloth room and other room tuts you can read at the Poser manual too. So in this point nothing new.
But if you looking for your character makes real. Some tuts could be interesting for you.
But i would suggest you at first read the Poser manual, and search the eweb for free poser tuts.
Maybee you can safe so some money. ;)
