5.0 out of 5 stars
Exciting book to work with,
By Micheal (Tulane MI) - See all my reviews
This review is from: AutoCAD LT 2004: A Problem-Solving Approach (Paperback)
Sham knows what it takes to write a good comprehensive textbook. I have been using his LT books for last 3 releases and I really like the way he explains every topic in the book. I am mostly impressed with the new features he has added to this LT 2004 book. I would also like to specially point toward the viewports chapter in the book. It is nicely done and the explanation of each topic is great. He has added quite a few architectural exercises in first few chapters that are good.As you read through this book, you will find that you have improved your working speed dramatically. So go ahead and buy it if you need to learn LT 2004.

A wonderful reference,
By Richard Freedman (Miami, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: AutoCAD LT 2004: A Problem-Solving Approach (Paperback)
I find this LT book very friendly and convenient to use. Its content is indeed broader (a plus!) than other related books. This book contains lot of information as it goes through a detail description of exercises that can be performed to accomplish anything you want LT to do. I strongly recommend this publication to a novice or an existing LT user.

Well planned book,
By "harrison_simpson52" (NJ United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: AutoCAD LT 2004: A Problem-Solving Approach (Paperback)
Hi!!! I generally do not review books, but I thought of reviewing this one because I really liked the way it has been layed out. The complete layout of this book is very well planned. It has one of the best blending of material for freshers as well as experienced users. The author of this book does not leave anything for the freshers to assume, making it really interesting book. Experienced users would find the examples and exercises in the 3D chapter really interesting. If you think you know all of LT, try the exercises of the 3D chapter, they are really interesting (especially the computer exercise).Overall, I am impressed with this book and recommend it to all the LT users.
