This book was written, and laid out, by incompetents. It is a chatty, paragraph style, with huge gaps (7 pages in one instance) between one step you’re trying to follow and the next.
When you want to know how to do something, this book does its best to hide the truth from you.
Illustrations are tiny and very gray. Index is niggardly (I dare you to find out how to distribute multiples of one item equally around the circumference or center point of a circle from the index).
And two of the three samples I finally made my way through didn’t work.
And seldom if ever are you told why to do something, as opposed to what to do.
Poor, poor, poor. And I’m out $70 with shipping.

Review about Mastering Autodesk Inventor 2009 By Curtis Waguespack.
The book is supposed to come with a DVD, but it doesn’t. The examples in the book reference the DVD, which makes most of the examples worthless without the DVD.
The book has more information about general concepts then detailed information about how to create projects and objects in Inventor. As we all know the devil is in the details. The general concept information is great for a salesman but of little value for the person using Inventor. I wish there was a good detailed book about high end Inventor use. This is not that book. Writing a good Inventor book is a good opportunity for someone.

Having been through the basic Inventor training classes a year ago I have some books covering the newbie stuff and was looking for something to help with other tools. This book covers many things that aren’t in the other books and aren’t easliy found online. Some of the chapters are better than others, but I’ve already found a lot of useful information. I liked the price too.

I bought this one and Introducing Autodesk Inventor 2009 and Autodesk Inventor LT 2009, and find them to compliment each other well. I was concerned that they would just cover all the same info, but am happy with them both.

I have been using Autodesk Inventor for 7 years and with this evolving software there is always something new and different. This book does a wonderful job at walking the reader through all the menu options. I have used the section on documentation mostly and learned how to do things that I was never taught in any class. Thanks to the authors for taking their time to help us users out.
