This review is from: Using AutoLISP with AutoCAD (Paperback)

This book is ok for the beginner, though it seems to only cover R12 information. Updated commands for R13 & R14 don't seem to be included. There is no mention of dialogue boxes either. The fundamentals are covered well though. A CD with the programming examples typed up would have been nice also.
