Autocad LT 97 was the second book I tried to use to learn Autocad. My goal was to learn AutoCad LT by myself. The first book (bought last year) that I tried was AutoCad LT by Omura. It was very difficult to follow for two reasons. First, I needed a book for the extreme novice. Second, Mr. Omura's book is about Autcad release 3.0, which differs greatly from release 14. Mr. Grabowski's book is clearly written, informative, and knowingly focuses on the challenge faced by the beginning CAD student. He starts each section by explaining the goals, and he also shares the perspective enjoyed by the high end CAD person, one who is in it every day. This book is excellent for the beginner and intermediate student. It includes a CD with all the drawings you have to make already done. After making each one of these at least 6 times, I learned even more by opening up the same drawing from the CD, one that was done by an expert. I think you will need at least two books to learn AutoCad LT97 well enough to make money at it.
I think it is exactly what it states itself to be.

I found the book to be an excellent source for the absolute beginner. It is not intended to make you an engineer but just open the door to a great program. I will be in search of a more indepth book,but without this one there would have been no need. Two thumbs up to Grabowski!!!
