i read a couple of Joyce's books, but instead did Cory Everson's video series "Basic Sculpting System" and her "Get Hard Arms and Shoulders" videos. (note - cory's videos are only available on VHS).
i agree that Joyce's books are really good (well, her PhD is in literature!). and she's especially good at teaching you to become your own advocate in case people deter you from lifting weights. many of her books were written when you didn't see too many women lifting weights in the gym.
cory's weights workouts on video are short, succinct, and well-sequenced. her workouts use the minimal amount of equipment too.
