5Money well spent  Oct 27, 2005 By Joe
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.

5As Much as You'll Ever Need for AutoCad  Dec 26, 2005 By MagnumMan
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).

5Great Book  Jan 10, 2006 By A. Brayyen
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.

5Easier Autocad  Oct 15, 2006 By JJO
I have four Autocad books. This one is far and away the best of the bunch. It is comprehensive, and most important to me, it is easy to understand. My computer went through a major system crash which took just about all my programs with it. I had to reinstall Autocad Lt. and then reconfigure a bunch of my personal customizations. I could not have done it without this book. Whenever I have a question about Autocad this is the first reference I reach for.

5Satisfies architect's needs  Jan 04, 2007 By M. Kaltwasser
I find what I need. I am a senior project manager / architect who uses the latest CAD every day.
If you're new to CAD, buy David Frey's "No experience required", you'll learn with pleasure, fast, and more than most of your co-workers'll ever know. Otherwise, buy Finkelstein.
