I order this book every term in our small college to teach AutoCad and it is an excellent book. I use this book mostly for teaching AutoCad 2D and it is may be the best book for this purpose in the market. If you are a student wanting to learn AutoCad you should know that the exercises in this book are the best you can find anywhere.

This was the recommended text for an Autocad class I'm taking. It seems to have all the essential information. Good for both reference and instruction. The only detraction I've found is the index is poor, doesn't always direct you to the places in the book with the most information about what you're looking for, and the index is where I go first when I'm trying to find a particular thing.
