5.0 out of 5 stars Money well spent, October 26, 2005

This is *the* AutoCAD book I'll keep at my desk. Whether you're a beginner or veteran user, it will tell you everything you need to know about AutoCAD 2006 or LT 2006. Clear, logically organized reference materials are put into meaningful context by helpful tutorials.

5.0 out of 5 stars As Much as You'll Ever Need for AutoCad, December 26, 2005

By	MagnumMan (Florida) - See all my reviews

Mind you, I knew zip about AutoCad before reading this book. If you take the time to follow it, you'll do well and progress. Good enough for the beginner and intermediates but the latter parts will suffice for some more experienced users.

Word of warning -- this book must weigh in at 5 pounds or more and runs over 1,000 total pages. Not a bed time book (fall asleep with this one on your chest and you may just stop breathing).

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book, January 9, 2006

By	A. Brayyen (Duluth, GA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a great book. It is big, but it has great information. Everything you need to know is in this book. If you're new to AutoCAD, the Quick Start chapter gets you drawing right away. My students think this section is great.

If you're experienced, go right to the new features of 2006. Each of the book's eight sections focuses on a key skill set element. Inside, you will find complete coverage of AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT. This is a great book. Look no further.
