I'm only half through this book and have done all of the exercises in it so far. It covers most of what you need to know in order to get good at autocad. The author has good examples of how to use the functions and has written it in a clean style with plenty of illustrations.
As I started doing some of the exercises I noticed that it had many typos and errors in it. This annoyed me a lot since I had wasted a lot of time doing an exercise and then finding out it turned out incorrect because there was an error in the book. And these errors come very often and will leave you scratching your head once or twice. This is a shame since it's such a good book in all other aspects. But the typos really made me wish I had chosen another book to work with.
The exercises also leave you having to do a lot of guesswork with the dimensions of objects. Many objects aren't clearly dimensioned in the exercises so I guess you're supposed to approximate them yourself, this can be quite annoying at times and make it impossible to recreate the figures exactly. But if you simply do the exercises to learn how to use the tools and not so much to create perfect copies of the figures you're given, then it's good.
Also, if you're European, a lot of exercises are in feet and inches, and it's also written to an american audience, so if you want something more specialized for where you live, try looking at books in your own language first unless you don't mind doing exercises in feet/inches.
