Customer Review: This book is a gem. It's really a dictionary of just about all of the types of charts that exist with the exception of interactive ones of course (we'll excuse the author though). If you have a problem and you think that some form of chart could help you then this book should contain the answer.... more info
Customer Review: I bought both your book as well as Mental Models AS PER YOUR RECOMMENDATION AND REGRETTED THAT MORE. Yours is information vaguely spread along 560 pages and Indi's book is totally abstract, which I am still trying to understand. I would have appreciated if you could have cut all the fluff in 60... more info
Customer Review: As with any sophisticated application AutoCAD 2006 has many hidden depths. This book is not here to teach how to apply AutoCAD or even understand the disciplines that it applies to. This reference is and does what it says. For the seasoned AutoCAD user 2006 can be quite a shocker, especially with... more info
Customer Review: I was instructed to purchase this book as a pre-requisite for a course on the new features of AutoCAD 2000.

Customer Review: Perhaps the target audience for this book is absolute beginners and that's how I'm rating it. It's niether great nor bad for that level of reader. If you're looking for something more serious or professional then go with Tufte's books.
Customer Review: The downside to technology is that you have to try and keep pace, expecially in CAD technology. This book helps to make the learning curve not quite so steep. It is laid out like the other "Quick Reference" books for ACAD, in alphabetical order, with numeric commands (usually 3d) after... more info
Customer Review: It doesn't get any better than this. Dan's ability to communicate by thoroughly explaining and then demonstrating is excellent. You may never need to use all of the included techniques but this publication is a resource that is unmatched for content relative to the imaging industry. I purchased... more info
Customer Review: If you want to enter the world of solid works this is the book you must have. Easy to follow with step-by-step instruction and illustrations.
I took the training and after I finish I could start making my own drawings. Also this is a good quick reference for the experienced designers.
Customer Review: Well written for what it is. If you're trying to understand graphics concepts - buy another book. It tells you what commands/buttons to click on without explaining why. Severly lacking in discussion of subjects. More like a 300 page cheat sheet!
