A hefty tome and good value for money but will need to buy another book to suplement its shortcomings.
I am not new to AutoCAD and I have read several other AutoCAD books before, such as the excellent "An introduction to AutoCAD 2000" by Alf Yarwood and the even better "AutoCAD 2002 3D modeling, a visual approach" by John Wilson (recommended by my college tutor) both of which i found more concise and much easier to follow.
The paper used for Mr. Omura's book is a step away from newsprint, but still acceptable. The "Bible's" layout and printing is very difficult to read. It almost looks like the printer saved on ink. I compared the 2009 "Bible" with this years version, and the 2009 was very readable.
I also purchased AutoCAD 2010 Tutorial - First Level: 2D Fundamentals by Randy Shih. That one didn't do anything for me and I sent it back.
become more and more useful, So the more advance you become the more useful the book becomes.
The book is well organized, easy to follow and understand.
You will get very comprehensive guide with the exercises available to each chapter.
I can say this book possibly is the best teacher I will ever have.
