Found a link-list of free models, I didn't look at each
so i dont know if they are good except for a few i added myself:
http://www.3dtotal.com
for books and tutorials, I did learn 3d using these tutorials, and i think its better to model myself.
good site that are more into game art:
http://opengameart.org/
The links are from http://dmi.chez-alice.fr/freemodels.html and
is mostly 3d cars and sometimes you have to surf around to find
what you are looking for.
To get Russian (or other languages) sites translated use Google chrome to get the pages translated.
