How to Cheat Maya

I found a book online called" How to Cheat Maya 2014" .

The title is very intresting and I am curious about what else the book has to offer. I have seen a couple of pages online which was very useful, however I am looking for more.

I am told it is basically a tips and techniques guide to creating things in maya. This could help me in creating realistic shaders.
