Some of the better books are the New Riders. Inside Maya 5 is good and takes you through the process of working on a short animation, from basic modeling to rigging to lighting and rendering....a good rigging book is Maya Character Creation: Modeling and Animation Controls, though it is quite advanced.
Some others are the Savvy ones once again rounding knowledge and Mata Character Animation brought out by Cybex, the one i have is for Maya 4 and its good, just takes a bit to convert some of the old ways of doing some of the activites to the newer versions, since the newer versions have easier ways of doing things, i.e. subdivision texturing.
cheers
