Book Recomendations?

[jacunningham]

I'm wanting to buy a good manual for Autocad Map 3D 2010. Has anyone used "Autocad Map 3D 2010 - A Practical Guide" by Alex Penny, or "Digging into Autocad Map 3D 2010" by Rick Ellis and Russell Martin. Can anyone recommend one?
Thanks

I have both of them. Alex's book has more of the data connect materical in it than Rick & Russel does in theirs. Rick/Russell covers a liitle more of the older pre-FDO commands and functions or workflow. So if you want to learn the new stuff go with Alex's book if you work only in dwg format then Rick & Russell. Who ever you go with tell them Murph sent you. :)

If you want to wait a few more years I may finish the " MURPH MUG" .
