Review
From Amazon (on previous editions of Modelling with AutoCAD): "Full of examples, easy to learn 3D modeling in AutoCAD." Reviewer from Irvine, USA "The whole book contains many practical exercises that demonstrate how to create 3D models. It is much easy to learn AutoCAD by doing these exercise instead of reading other AutoCAD's instruction books.".

Modelling with AutoCAD 2002
This book tutors with absolute co-ordinates and commands written in the command bar rather than using relative measurements and the toolbars. I have found this book to be very difficult to use, instead of explaining a topic, the book expects you to follow a detailed 'do this, do that' list of commands. This is not a book that you can dip in and out of when you need help.
