5.0 out of 5 stars Most effective and fundimental for users of all levels, 7 Jan 1999
By A Customer
I found this book to be incredably helpful for its in depth look at presentation styles and presentation drawings. There is also a huge section on orthographic and perspective drawings, how to see them and construct them.
