• Google Sketchup For Dummies 10 March, 2008
I was new to SketchUp. And this book helped a lot. I learned things that weren't mentioned in video and other tutorials.
Also, it was easy to read.

• Barely Useful 05 July, 2008
The author tells you which tools to use, but not how to apply them. The book is more of an outline than a set of educational exercises or instructions. I'm finding Sketchup's help system significantly more useful.

• Essential For Someone New To Sketchup 07 April, 2008
Chopra has written an excellent book. Good sense of humor, easy to understand, practical and well organized. Some of the "For Dummies" books are a little too cute. The writing style gets in the way of the information. That is not the case with Chopra's book. His humor and personality make the subject interesting. I am a beginner with Sketchup, but I think more advanced users will benefit from this book too because of the way the book is organized and the depth of the information. The book works as a reference as well as a collection of tutorials.

Sketchup is a lot of fun and this book provides the methods that are not immediately obvious and makes this application even more satisfying.

Like all "Dummies" books this is an invaluable reference work for a complex subject. This book is helpful for a beginner, just discovering "Sketchup" and also for a frequent user, needing a helping hand.
