I am hesitant to reply, because I am far from an expert on 3d programs, but... I grew up modeling in early Cinema4D, then had access to 3DS for awhile. The AC3D interface felt very comfortable to me from the first time I used it. Blender is still very foreign feeling, and I have to reach for a tutorial to even open files in it.

Given that AC3D aims strictly to be a modeler, a lot of those programs' functionality does not exist here so, look for a 3DS modeling or texturing centered book. Or possibly C4D, but I haven't seen a version of that program since the Amiga died in 1999 or so.
