Any good FCP Books with 24p?

I'm buying a book to learn FCP (since the manual is too complicated and moves too fast!!).

I looked through a lot, one from Peach Pit Press or something that was very good, very simple (moved slowly, but I prefer to go quickly through a slow book, then spend forever trying to figure out what a fast-paced, more comprehensive book is trying to tell me)....but nothing about 24p.

One book had something about cinema tools and 3:2 pulldown with film, but nothing regarding the dvx100. Do ANY books have ANY info about using a DVX100?

The DVX100 is a easy camera to learn how to use. To be honest with you, you can learn a lot by doing test shoots and writing down notes or watch your stuff on a monitor. There is a Manual that is floating around the internet that someone put together in the last few months. To me it was just like the manual that came with the camera except in went into more detail about certain things like the Scene File settings and when to use what and that sort of thing. As for books, I bought a FINAL CUT PRO book that is completely in COLOR! Its called Motion Graphics and Effects for Final Cut Pro. It does speak about the DVX100 but nothing on how to use the camera. The book comes with a DVD that has excercises for you to do on your timeline at the end of each chapter. I bought my book at BORDER'S BOOKSTORE. Even though the book is mainly about Motion Graphics and Effects, it does touch on other stuff that FCP does like Color Correction and a bunch of other stuff.

Hmm...not the book for me cause I do all my effects in After Effects and 3D Studio Max. I'm not so much worried about learning the camera (although I am a bit and the advice is very helpful as that's what i will do) as I am worried about learning how to work with 24p in cinema tools. I have very little final cut pro experience so I figured I'd buy a book for it, but couldn't find one with any tips on using cinema tools for 2:3:3:2 pulldown.

Ken Stone has a little webpage thing that he discusses editing 24p with Final Cut Pro and I believe he touches on the use of Cinema Tools. I have the page bookmarked on my home computer but I am at work now. Do a Google search for Ken Stone or 24p editing with Cinema Tools and see what you come up with.
