great book April 16, 2008
i bought this book for my school course. i barely use this book. teacher use to give his own notes. lots of info if interested in inventor
 Great book for beginners April 5, 2008
I am completely new to Mechanical engineering. As a matter of fact, I am a computer engineer. I guess you can understand where I am coming from. This book helped me understand how to conceptualize and visualize parts and assemblies quickly. I can design simple machines now!
I wanted to learn Inventor and bought this book after reading all the other reviews of this book. I should admit that all those reviews are completely correct. This is THE book that you should buy if you want to learn Inventor.
 Very disappointing March 27, 2008

I worked with Autodesk Inventor Professional 10 for 1 year, and 2 month ago began with Inventor Professional 2008 to use the new tools. So I decided to buy this book based in the good reviews above. First I bought the Autodesk Inventor 8 Essentials Plus for 1 dollar, yes 1 dollar, and it was perfect with the tutorials included in the software to learn all about Inventor 10.
Inventor 2008 has a lot of new features, but the menus, and 95% of tools are still the same, you just have to learn the new features. So if you have some previous version of Inventor 2008 or have bought some old version book of the serie "essentials" don`t make a mistake to buy the last one, because it`s the same book with a few new topics, and you will find with the same exercises and the same text explained just a little bit better, but they are the same after all, and for $58 dollars more ( $1dollar the essential 8 plus)
If you want to learn deep about
-Dynamic Simulation
-Stress analysis
-Design accelerator
-Tube and pipe
Don`t buy this book, you won`t find nothing about.

I've read many technical books in my day from computer programming to computer design. I bought this book based on the review before mine, and the reviewer is absolutely right. This is a great book!
The verbiage is concise, the information is broad and in-depth, and the tutorials help reinforce the material. Great for beginners through medium-advanced users.
A+ Book
A book that covers everything - and presents information well October 27, 2007

If you think all Inventor 2008 books are created equal, there NOT! I found that out the hard way, after buying another Inventor book before I got this one.
This book is SIX times! better than the other one I got. Much more information and their teaching (style) is great. Detailed, they take the time to show all available tools /options and methods in creating sketches, features, parts and assys. And I enjoyed the good Tips they insert in each lesson. You'll also get to see your options in Tools /Applications & Documents.
.
What I also appreciated was the style that these authors presented these lessons. (detailed, but consise). If there's 3 ways of doing something - they tell you all 3. Includes tons of pics of dialog boxes and models (even complex models and drawings), to be sure you see what they are talking about.
.
Inventor 2008 essentials plus book is for the beginner as well as the advanced user. And doesn't waste your time. You're always learning. and the tips are great. It brings a novice gracefully up to the advanced level - and teaches pretty much everything Inventor 2008 offers. (ie using 3D grips, doing a 3D sketch, creating iParts and BOM's, using the hardware library, using the frame generator, converting a 2D dwg to a 3D model, sheetmetal, how to work with projects, and much more).
If you want a complete book to learn Inventor, I highly recommend Inventor 2008 Essentials Plus book. Note, its 925 pages because there's a lot to learn. Highly recommend this book.
