If you liked this book you will also like "Exercise Workbook for Beginning AutoCAD 2000" and it's companion "Exercise Workbook for Advanced AutoCAD 2000". Visit the website "shrockpublishing.com" and check it out. I found these to be more step by step and not so much to read. The Advanced workbook is really good for guiding you through setting up your borders for professional use. It is also great for classroom instruction. Students basically teach themselves with these books. They are also great as reference manuals to refer back too commands quickly.

Buy me. Now.

I am incredibly impressed with this book--it has much more information than the user's guide that comes with the program. The CD-Rom alone is worth the money because it features clipart, tutorials, another book by the same author called "Autocad 2000 Instant Reference" (which I had planned on buying anyway), 3D features, etc. Well organized, well indexed, and very readable; you won't be able to find another book like this (believe me, I did extensive research online and in the stores). I am a sophomore architecture student and so I just recently picked up Autocad--this book is perfect for me as I continue learning because it helps at the beginning and the advanced level. The only bad thing I can say about this book is that it is written for architects, not engineers (also, the hardcover, though worth it, is quite heavy in a backpack). I highly recommend this book--the price is insubstantial in comparison to how much information the book and CD-ROM provide.

Mastering AutoCAD 2000 - George Omura

Enjoyable, easy to read - a book with excellent explanations - an indispensible AutoCAD 2000 reference

Great assistant for AutoCad students...

This book by Omura is a great asset to the beginning, mid, and advanced AutoCAD students who are looking for good quality referencing material to answer those difficult questions immediately. I have thoroughly enjoyed this book and take it with me daily between school, work, and home. I'll be looking forward to more quality material by George Omura in the future.

AMAZING BOOK! PERFECT FOR BEGINNERS AND PROS ALIKE!

Teacher-Extraordinaire George Omura has written a masterpiece. This book leads you by the hand through all the intricacies of this powerful software without letting you go. I was reluctant to purchase a 1600 page book fearing that I would get lost in a pulp jungle; given my experience with big, disorganized books. This book was a pleasant surprise well worth its price. If you're a beginner this is the book for you. If you're experienced this is also the book for you.
