Free Unity 4.x Cookbook
I bought this book and two others from Packt when they had their sale. Overall this book gives you a very good base on many of the topics that you might commonly use. The Mecanim chapter which is Chapter 5 gives you a very good base understanding of several of the topics but also you have to know that Mecanim is a complete system by itself and would take a complete book to understand the many different aspects of what it can do. I did have a question about using "in-place" animations instead of root motion and the author did respond back with a complete example. That means a lot that the author really does care about their product.
The chapters are separated to easily find topics that would interest you. And no you can't find some of these things on YouTube - especially the Mecanim topic. I tried.
So if you want a easy quick reference to common things that people ask so many times in Unity forums/answers. This book is for you.

The unity cookbook is a very comprehensive ebook, I am half way through and there is a lot of detailed sections, they have clear images of the steps involved to achieve what is described.
I would say that some of the content is at more of an intermediate level than a complete beginner (which I am) so I would have preferred to have had a complete game linking all of the sections together.
There are some very clever snippets of code that will be useful to use in my forthcoming projects.
The ebook format is very good allowing me to have the code open on my kindle alongside my laptop.
