My boss wanted to to put together a list or training books or anything about Revit. He prefers books. Can you guys name books that would help in learning Revit more.

Description:
This innovative book shows how building design strengths and methods can be used and applied with Autodesk® Revit® Building. Coverage explores the ways in which Revit Building handles design and documentation tasks and the advantages it presents for creating fully integrated building information models. Tutorial exercises early in the book illustrate how Autodesk Revit Building can be combined effectively with AutoCAD® and Architectural Desktop® drawings to make the best use of existing files and work practices. Numerous other exercises illustrate how to use Revit Building’s sophisticated and robust capabilities as a full-featured architectural design tool—sketched massing objects that convert to building elements, configurable components, automatic coordination of all parts of the building model with views and annotations, simply controlled yet detailed graphic representation and output, strong data management via schedules, and color diagrams.


Features:
-covers all the design enhancements in Release 8.0, including improved massing tools, view templates, annotation, graphics, DWF export
-helpful strategies are featured to make the switch to Autodesk® Revit® Building as smooth as possible while users explore its effects on the design process
-abundant exercises employ ways in which Autodesk Revit Building can handle multiple users on a project, multiples files, and Phasing – Revit Building's method of showing the time component of a project
-exercises on annotations provide added depth into the topics of Autodesk Revit Building's powerful schedules and its methods of data export
-coverage not found in other books includes Revit Building's built-in rendering module, how to prepare an Autodesk Revit Building model for export to an outside renderer such as Autodesk® VIZ®, and Autodesk Revit Building's "walkthrough" animation generator

One of the things I do for CADALYST is book reviews. I think that Sham Tickoo's Autodesk Revit Building 9 is the best one out to date. And no the Revit book reviews have not yet been released on CADALYST.com yet.
