Summary: A well written book
Comment: I recently decided to pick up 3D modelling and animation as a hobby. Having chosen to use Lightwave, I started reading the Lightwave manual and got somewhere close to page 400. Even then, I noticed I still could not model a single object which was rather frustrating. I then decided to purchase this book (based on the reviews I read at amazon.com). It's a wonderful book and Mr. Albee has done a remarkable job. Clearly written, easy to understand and very entertaining. Each time I pick it up and sit in front of the computer, I find it hard to put it down. Now that's the only problem I have with the book - it's so good, it's addictive. If you're new to Lightwave (like myself) or if you intend learning Lightwave, I'd advice that you make this one of the first books you obtain (or rather Essential Lightwave 8 which would soon be out).

Summary: If you want to model this is the book
Comment: I received my book about a week ago and have been reading it. I want to model and only wish this was the first Lighwave book I purchased. I love this book.

Summary: Top of the Line
Comment: Essential Lightwave 3d 7.5 is nothing short of fantastic. Being an enthusiastic newcomer to both 3D and Lightwave, I bought several Lightwave-related books in a burst of eagerness. They are all good -- I haven't read a bad Lightwave book yet. Finding this one, however, is like discovering a glowing diamond in the midst of a scattering of other, assorted gemstones. No pun intended, but this book really rocks.
The author's knowledge of, and respect for, his subject matter is evident. He covers the basics clearly, in an entertaining style, but the real value of this book, for me, lies in the way he explains tools that are often avoided or glossed over in other works. Rail bevel and rail extrude, for instance. I fought to understand those tools for a month, but -- after reading Albee's book -- I can work 'em! Examining the illustrations was crucial, I admit, but at least Albee tackled an explanation and presented a demo for these challenging tools. He walks boldly into territory that even the writers of the Lightwave manual merely tiptoe through.
If you are a beginner -- or even an intermediate user, looking to do more than "scratch the surface" of Lightwave -- I highly recommend this book. I would imagine that even seasoned Lightwave users could discover pearls of wisdom among the pages because, as Albee points out, one will never know everything about Lightwave. It's just too awesome.
Two thumbs up! I am anxiously awaiting the publication of Essential Lightwave, V8.
