AutoCAD 20085
I have this book and I believe that it has taken me from no knowledge of AutoCAD to a position that I can contribute to my employment. I did have some drawing skills but no CAD skills.
I would advise anyone who wants to learn CAD and get the fundimentals right this is where to start.

CAD 20084
Book is good but not contiguous. Necessary steps are left out. I guess the assumption is one already has working knowledge of the software, but if that were so, why buy the book?
