I just found that you can download a sample chapter, the table of contents and more of Mastering AutoCAD Civil 3D 2008 at the following link:
http://www.wiley.com/WileyCDA/WileyTitle/productCd-0470167408.html
Instructors can also use that link to request an evaluation copy of the book- so if you are teaching a class at a community college, university or otherwise- check it out and see if you can get your hands on one!
Such a hot read you can give it as a Christmas gift! Got my copy in on Friday and spent all weekend (well, you know) with it. The topics covered are all the ones I’ve been struggling with. They’re presented so you don’t have to know all the jargon and procession of keywords like you do trying to wring the truth out of the (good luck gettin’ any) “Help” menu.
I’d place my skill level at intermediate but I’d-a been here a lot sooner with this book to start out!
Congrats & Thanks,
