OnWord Press is cheating its customers with this book I received my copy of this book just today, so I can't yet comment on its content at this point. However, I am so outraged by one aspect of its publication that I felt it necessary to comment on it immediately.The last 100 pages of the text aren't published! Rather, they are included on an accompanying CD-ROM as PDF documents!

The last page of Chapter 13 says "Book Continued on Companion CD-ROM", and that's it!It is one thing to include supplemental, extra, or "bonus" materials on a C. makes me laugh I have been utilizing AutoCAD for more than 15 yrs and must say my best reading material for gaining the knowledge needed to do my job came from a supplemental CD, internet papers, etcera & etcera - and not a full fledged book. In any case, I have always enjoyed ONWARD Books such as Inside AuotCAD Map - even if it means succumbing to technology and reading the rest from a CD. Finally, a big thanks to Mr. Gish for a response. After spending countless hours on the phone with questions and concerns to others (normally about software) that ordinarily end up now. I'll never buy another OnWord Press book again! A Customer I, too, was outraged by OnWord Press' packaging of the last chapter and appendices of the book on CD-ROM. By breaking the seal of the jacket to review and examine the contents of the rest of the book, I give up my rights to return this so-called "book"?It is one thing to put the full text of the book, or accompanying programs/files on CD-ROM with a shrink-wrap license, but it is quite unacceptable to hold hostage part of the contents of the book in order to have a firm grasp on the money in your wallet.Never again will I buy another OnWord Press INSIDE book
