I have the 2nd dvd and I enjoy it. It's great for toning. There's also a cardio ballet routine on it that you can do but I never do it because it's way too hard for me. If you've never taken a ballet class before I wouldn't recommend it, just because you could injure yourself and you wouldn't really know propper form. Another thing I like about this dvd is that it has 2 song selections that you can choose. One is classical and one is more jazzy. You can also just hear the guy talking and play your own music which I really nice. I wouldn't get the first dvd, you don't need it to do the 2nd one and it got really bad reviews. As for the book, I don't know about that.
