Your First Animation in 30 + 30 Minutes Part II
These two chapters make you model a Gingerbread man, texture it, rigg it and animate it step by step.
Hope you will find that helpful.

Hi,
You’re welcome . The only doc I have is taken from the Tutorials in blender wiki site:
http://mediawiki.blender.org/index.php/Tutorials/Links
I also found the 2.3 book in a book store, but you can order it from Blender Foundation e-store:
http://www.blender3d.org/e-shop/default.php
The Blender Wiki Site is the update of this book for version 2.4x. I think they will release all the content in a physical book once they finish updating it
Best Regards,
thnx again fro the immediate reply !!
