Most Helpful Customer Reviews   7 of 8 people found the following review helpful: 4.0 out of 5 stars extremely helpful, 20 Nov 2002 By A Customer Doing a CAD course at night, i found myself completly and utterly lost so i bought this book. Convincing myself it would be another technical jargon book, (due to the size and thickness)i was surprised to see it started at the basics of well, basics! Very easy reading and handy little tips that you can remember as they are put into "daily english". Even a first timer would have a good knowledge of CAD after reading this enlightening book. A no-fuss, no frills book-brilliant Comment Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
