what im really after is a book that goes deeper than just the basics, i have gotton most of the basics down from online tutorials and solid edge built in help, the thing im struggling with is how to apply this knowledge to objects that arnt simple protrusions but has curved and bends all over its body.
Cheers!!!

I have the first and third book on your list, though earlier versions. Both are good to have as a reference and provide some useful additional information. But if I am honest, there is only a little bit of extra info - and there is little if any in terms of insight - more just going through the tool set.
If I were to pick one, I think I would go for No.2 - even though I havn't read it, the list of contents looks more comprehensive.

It really is a pity we don't get nearly as much books as for Solidworks (what an understatement!!!). I looked for a book on surfacing, found nothing.
I've been tempted to buy those video tutorials teebar, but I tend to get bored listening to those. I'd like to get it on book form...

Gemnoc, interesting you say that, I also was disappointed in Sham Tickoo's book. I have used it a couple of time and to that extent has been useful, but fairly poor value for money.
In theroy the videos should be good, but like you I found the them a bit slow moving and got bored quickly.

It's pretty much a learn by doing program. - exactly ProDarwin.
I've been around SE since V7 and there has never really been any books with real guts worth spending cash on.
I've come to the conclusion the SE is for working engineers, usually specialists in their field, who have a no time or inclination to study general books or write them for that matter.
If a modelling problem occurs they will find a work around and gradually refine the method, or alternatively reach out to others who may have experience.
Over 10yrs I have never stopped learning and refining, I have come to enjoy the learning curve and gave up on the quick fix years ago

So I still beat V19 into submission using the same techniques I did at V5 & V7. Not because the software hasn't improved but I haven't kept up.
