The book itself is an amazing tool to have at ones side while learning this complex program. However, I see I'm not the only one who had problems with the CD. Most unfortunate as the files that do work are an excellent match with the scripted tutorials.
Excellent book, the CD-ROM does not work properly.

I have found the book to be an excellent source of information. The only problem I have found is that the CD that comes with the book locks my computer when autorun is turned on, and will not let me access the CD.
This is THE book to buy if you plan to use Autocad 14.

I am a very experienced Autocad user and I was amazed at the amount of timesaving information I was able to extract from this book. The writing is very well done with a good amount of "How & Why" information. New Riders has been my preferred choice for learning various software programs since the late 70's and early 80's and this book reflect the depth of their knowledge. I highly recommend this as the at the workstation book to buy. The CD that comes with the book is not ready for prime time. I found many errors with both the content and format of the disk. I even had problems installing and reading it with my computer, but the book more than make up for this flaw.
excellent book for the beginner to advanced

excellent text and explaination of the commands. this book takes you from the beginning all the way to plotting your finished dwgs. covers the bonus tools as well. 3d could be covered in more detail, yet it the section is still quite informative
