1.0 out of 5 stars
Going back to the bookstore for my refund,
By BC Reader (BC, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: AutoCAD Developer's Guide to Visual LISP (Paperback)
I suppose if you have a Ph.D, you are expected to write at least one text book to add to your portfolio and make a few bucks on the side - that kind of mentality was painfully prevalent when the author wrote this book. Dry text and sparse examples litter the text. The book title is misleading - it calls itself a 'developer's guide to visual lisp' when in fact, 36 pages (less than 10% of the book) is dedicated to that topic. Almost 200 pages of the book goes over the main AutoLisp functions - but hey, I've got an AutoCAD 14 book that explains that topic better. The book describes the author as a 'best selling author of a number of AutoCAD books'. If thats true, those books never made it to the North American market - now I know why. And finally, WHERE'S THE CD? No CD ever came with my copy of the book - maybe because I purchased an earlier printing. All in all, a major disappointment.
