5 comments about Autocad 2000 Bible.

1. AutoCAD 2000 Bible leads the student through a step by step process to teach even the beginner how to use AutoCAD 2000.



2. Having purchased AutoCAD for Dummies 2000, and AutoCAD for Architecture 14, this book makes you roll up your sleeves and start working productively from the second chapter. It's written for both the beginner and intermediate AutoCAD user. The CD has various small excercises to complete and provides the user with a wealth of time-saving steps. For anyone using AutoCAD 2000, whether you are a student or professional, this book is excellent. It has saved me literally hours of frustration. The book addresses both architectural and mechanical/electrical diciplines. The plotting chapter is exhaustive, and anyone using AutoCAD knows how important the proper procedures are for final output. Highly recommend this book.



3. This is a great Reference book. It is verry straight forward. Verry indepth. The chapters on 3d modeling are extremly helpful.



4. I have used this book to teach a basic Cad class. It is helpful for use of reference only, but for a beginner, it can be overwhelming



5. This is a very good book, I am exceptionally pleased about this purchase.

3 comments about Ten Arquitectos: Enrique Norten and Bernardo Gomez-Pimienta (Works in Progress).

1. Excellent, Norten is really building a new trend in architecture: the creation of spaces full of pleasure: light, functionality, metal and glass combined to greatness.



2. It's surprising to see how actual the architecture in Mexico is nowadays.

1 comments about Automating Design in Pro/ENGINEER with Pro/PROGRAM.

1. This book shows how to unlock the power most of us never knew existed behind ProE. ProProgram allows the user to do some incredible things to automate designs in minutes, and this book walks you through numerous examples so the reader can understand the concepts and apply them to his own projects.

2 comments about California Tile: The Golden Era 1910-1940: Hispano-Moresque to Woolenius.

1. This two-volume set covers California tile makers in the early part of the 20th century, until the depression and a change of fashion put most of them out of business. Each tile maker is covered separately, in alphabetical order, with an essay on the company, including its founder and its specialties, and many, many closeups of tile in glorious color. Most are pictures of a single tile or multiple-tile picture, but there are a few fireplace surrounds, baths, staircases, and other installations. In addition, in the back of the book are some explanations of how the tiles were made, who copied whose styles, and other details. Volume 1 is Acme to Handcraft; Volume 2 is Hispano-Moresque to Woolenius, but both volumes have the information in back. If you love tile, or any kind of design, you will pore over this book.



2. Without a doubt, this has got to be one of the best, if not the best book on Arts and Crafts Tile I've seen, and I've got them all. Although dealing with California tile makers only, there's enough material here to fill two books - and in fact, that's what they did! I didn't realize that this is really Vol. I of II, the other covers the rest of the H's down to the Z's. And that's my only gripe - $82 if one buys both, AND now I have to wait 4-5 weeks for the 2nd part. But as a reference to companies and what they made, this book is outstanding. Can hardly wait - Note, the cost of this book has gone up from $41 to the present $59.59 - So, I'd suggest buying the second vol now, before that goes up also. Note II there are two DIFFERENT Books the first covers Tiles from A to half way through the H's, the Second volume covers the rest of the H's down to the Z's. Even though they have different ISBN's Amazon seems to be getting them mixed up, calling the first the "Hardcover" the second book the "updated" book. There are two books, get them both! The 2nd book just as good as the first! 2006 update - these two books remain about the best for CALIFORNIA tiles, but The Encyclopedia of American Art Tiles (by Norman Karlson) Vols. 3 and 4 are just as good. However Norman's books (as great as they are) are a bit pricey - You just want California tiles? Then stick with the California Tile books (one and two) But want to have the best reference for ALL the U.S.? Then go with Karlson, but you will easily spend $200-$240 to get all four vols. If you go with Karlson, then you don't need this California book.
