Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
In this book the author has fulfilled the need for a descriptive geometry textbook in which the fundamentals are presented in the same pedagogically sound units of work, as they are usually introduced in daily presentation.

I'm an instructor for Descriptive Geometry and am amazed at how a company can release a book so poorly edited. I'm now using the second edition and the same problems still exist. The views are incorrect, information is missing, and the CD problem sets are largely missing and incorrectly labled. Good example - 1st chapter all 11 review problems are either incorrectly dimensioned, the views incorrect, hidden lines are shown as solid, etc. In chapter 3 of the nine review problems given, the CD only gives three of them and all three are incorrectly labled. Oh - and if you want to show the answers from the instructors CD on an overhead projector most of the answers problems object lines are dark grey on a grey background. Need I say more?
Rated by buyers -
I implore all who take a course in college, high school, or other institution in Descriptive Geometry not to read this book. It reads in a doctorial level of understanding and is only a good book to understand theory rather than application. Moreover, its problems and self-test problems make learning even harder because the author fails to give specific details invaluable to understanding the problem. I give this book one star for weak illustrations and poor explanations.
