Which book?

[Anonymous]

Hi all,
I am new to Inventor & have the choice of the following books through Amazon
UK,
1)Using Autodesk Inventor
2)Autodesk Inventor 5/5.3: Basics Through Advanced
which should I get?
Thanks

Essentials Courseware, AutoDesk Official Training Courseware for IV 5 from
AutoDesk
should be a good starter. Book also includes a CD with all the lessons.

I bought this book and found it good but not brilliant.It takes an awful lot
for granted. My colleague and myself both used this book. I came from MDT
and she came from 2D Autocad. We are both now happily using Inventor but
currently need a refernece book to fill in the holes left by the Autodesk
book. It's bloody expensive as well. I paid £100 for it. My reseller only
sold it to us because we had only recently spent loads of money training
three people up in MDT.

Happy Hunting.

Just been told by Autodesk UK that this is only available to resellers!
But if I was in the US I could order it off the Autodesk US web site.
Is this a case of Rip-off Britain once again?!!!!
