inventor 2008 book

[miggeyb]

I am studying inventor 2008 right now but our course manual is not that so effective, and i wanted to buy a book as a guide to be easily understand the basic. Can you please give me some idea which book is better for a newbie like me. I search the internet and I found Autodesk Inventor 2008 essential plus and engineering design & graphic with autodesk inventor 2008. Some guys commented on the preivous one as an incomplete book without the tube and piping. So which is better on either of the two.

Thank you for your reply.

What book are you using now?

Tube and piping is an advanced subject and not relevant to what you need now (and you probably won't be ready for that for at least a year or two).

There is a free curriculum at http://engineersrule.org

Thank you very much and I really appreciated your reply. As of now I am only using school printed manual, which I found out last week that they only downloaded it from the internet free tutorial. Incomplete and no sample works to follow, that why it is so hard to understand the basic.
