1: Highly recommended
This really is one of the best books written about Autocad and how to use it in a real work environment. It's aimed a bit more at the "power user", someone who is familiar with the basics and needs to get more out of it. I've had a hard time finding a book like this. When I read the chapters on basic lisp routines and batch scripting I was saying: "Yes! Finally a book which is not for dummies." But the way the chapters are set up it is also very easy for a beginner to pick and chose their way around learning Autocad. There are valuable lessons here for any level. Highly recommended, along with Autocad: Professional Tips and Techniques.

2: You need this book!
If you are at a point with Autocad where you know the keyboard commands and short-cuts and the new hurdles to tackle with improving your autocad skills ARE work-flow and efficiency. . . THIS BOOK IS A MUST FOR YOU! I try to make sure a learn a few new tricks from this book every week and it has already improved my skills. The last 1/3 of the book is LISP stuff and while I am not at that point yet, it looks extensive and concise at a skimming. If you are comfortable with editing your cui file and understand the difference between color and style dependent plotting this book is right up your alley.

4: Great Stuff!!
I've been using AutoCAD for many years and have seen many books rehash the same old stuff.
This book addresses Autocad from a user standpoint, written by someone who not only completely understands AutoCAD but also knows how it's used in the real world.
A "must-have" for all AutoCAD users.

5: Best Productivity Book in years
This is the first CAD book that I have bought in years (using AutoCAD since release 2.5), this book is a must have for anyone using AutoCAD. This is not a command reference guide, it truly shows you how to use the software through best practices, customization, automation and programming. It is a comprehensive book filled with tips, tricks, pitfalls, and examples. Mr. Abbott has brought together enough productivity tips for the user that the book will pay for itself through increased productivity.
