Excellent
The book looks nice but I haven't found enough time to read it. Overall it is good for any one who is in starting phase or in the middle.
Other good thing is they send me free mac coupons.

Not worth the time or paper
The description of the book states: "The most complete resource for SolidWorks on the market. Matt Lombard's in-depth knowledge plus his snappy wit and wisdom make SolidWorks accessible to users at all levels."
Sheer size with bad wit does not make a book good. It shows for this book!
The book is fragmented, poorly explained, written, and illustrated, with a mound of tips that look like they came from various SW User groups.
As a new 3D CAD user and a Mechanical Engineer with 10+ years in industry, it did not help, nor would it help if I was not a new user.
The book was not recommended by my local SW VAR, I know now and I should have listened!!!!

Great for reference but also filling in holes.
I found it very useful for filling in holes I had with Solid works primarily design tables and some basic programming. It is useful but not terribly detailed. It covers a lot and not much of that a lot in detail. Rating:

Not good as it look at firt sight
This book has pictures that create the illusion that you are going to learn all of that model and at the end it doesn't show you the way step by step to make those models. |
