 Great Help October 24, 2008

I ahd to learn to use Inventor on the job as this software is not taught in college. Every basic step is clearly instructed in this book.
 Good learning experience February 25, 2008
Just as it states, a step-by-step book to learn the basics. Good way for an
old Acad user to get his feet wet learning a solid modeling program. I know there are hundreds of things to learn that it doesn't cover, but I feel comfortable enough now, to keep learning about what Inventor can do.

Learning and Applying AutoDesk Inventor 2008 Step-by-Step
The is a very poorly written book with signficant mistakes both in displayed (screen dump) information and written information.
For the novice designer, this book is terribly confusing and will inhibit learning.
For the advanced designer this book is aggravating and wasteful in its approach and compounded by thoughtless errors and ommissions.
The fact that the author is a Ph.D. would indicate a degree of professional pride that is clearly lacking. I wouldn't want my name on this book as my contribution to the 3D Design Industry.
A waste of money. I am thankful the place I bought the book from has a 14 day return policy. I am returning this book!
 A Bit Basic December 1, 2007
Well this book certainly got me started but it did not go into detail for the functions various options, also there were several mistakes that confused me for awhile. Before long i found my self skipping pages as it was so repetative in the descriptions and then before i knew it i was 400 pages in and really had only covered the basics.
But it diid do what is said"Step by Step"
I haven't returned it - yet October 6, 2007

I needed a book to get me started in Autodesk Inventor 2008. This book did, that is why it gets 2 stars instead of one. The step-by-step directions, with one step on one page, use up a lot of pages fast. It took about 3 hours to read the book and left me with the feeling that a lot was left untouched. The book does finish with a piston/con rod/crank animation that is very informative. It would have been nice if the author included:
1) dialog boxes - why each choice was made
2) dialog boxes - what the other choices do
3) a brief description of all of the commands
