If you are looking for a book that will help you understand Visual Lisp - this is NOT it. Page after page of screen shots with a line or two of unhelpful text - you would be much better off just using AutoCAD help. Maybe the next book on VL will do more than scratch the surface.

I found this book to be a jumble of disconnected terms. After reading the first two chapters I thought the rest of the book can go nowhere but up. I was wrong. The rest of the book maintained its confusing presentations. Even the supplied disk was as confusing as the book. If your looking to get into LISP programming STAY AWAY from this book. I guess I will spend another 30 or 40 dollars and try another LISP programming book.

This book is of zero educational value. You will not find it useful. Some scattered information without any reasonable relationship. It is a waste of time and money. I am not quite sure why they have decided to publish such a useless book. You cannot even use it as a reference.

This book finally brought Descriptive Geometry down to my level - beginner. I was amazed at how this book managed to explain the subject matter in a simple, straight forward way. And the illustrations are great! I took Descriptive Geometry several years ago and did not complete the course because I could not understand what the instructor or the other D.G. textbook (I don't remember the title) were talking about. Now, I wonder why the other book did not say, and illustrate, what this book covers so effortlessly.

This by far is the preeminent of its kind. The immeasurable amount of detail that the author covers, leaves no doubt in the readers mind that every facet has been covered. This book is truly a assertion that the author shows no evidence of diffidence. I highly advocate the purchase of this book!
