In summary - excellent example graphics, excellent industry advice. The bottom line - clear, concise and no BS presentation is always best. Knowing how to use AUTOCAD might help as well.

The books has some nice graphics in it but that's about as far as it goes. There is no guidance on to produce the types of graphics that are included, what software programs to use, what hand drawing techniques to use, etc. If you're just looking for some examples of nice urban design graphics, it might be worth it for you though.
