5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book., March 2, 2009

By	J. Rogers - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Not being CAD trained, I needed a book to provide me with enough useful informaiton to use the basic functions of AutoCAD. This book is written in such detail as to provide me the basics and a great deal of additional informaiton that will continue to help me. I am glad I bought the book and would recommend it to all novice CAD users.
