Thrifty choice for classes using 2009 edition
I purchased this book for a class. The tutorials seem pretty decent and It works well within the class. I am not sure how well it would work as a self study, though.
The advantage to the 2008 version is that it is nearly $40 cheaper then the 2009 edition, and they are nearly identical. A few of the charts showing keys are different, but all of the projects are the same. My teacher is teaching from 2009, and I have had no problems using the 2008 edition in her class. In fact most of the page numbers are even the same.
It comes with the learning edition of AutoCAD 2008, which is very helpful if you need more time to practice.
The only thing I don't like about the book is the book is really big, too big to be a softcover, really. The binding is already nearly coming off. However, the pages are staying together just fine.
