Useful read
Rated out of 5 stars, April 12th, 2010
Very nice read, the book is based on basically the latest stable SIO2 release and Blender release (2.49a instead of 2.49b, but I doubt you will find big differences) so it contains very useful tips and tricks about what you can do with tools out now and not years ago.
This book will help you avoid some very common beginner mistakes which would take you a while to discover later on (like forgetting to use the Normals option in the SIO2 exporter and have very funky lighting as result ;)).
SIO2 + Bullet Physics basis + Blender == great read :).
