I would like to state...the publisher reached out to me and inquired if I would go through the text and write a review. I was not compensated in any way, this is a totally unbiased review! I read the entire text on my own time! I personally used text material similar to this(different publisher) to achieve multiple CSWP certifications.This text is a wonderful tool to learn, but really understand the Solidworks environment and design intent. The examples are practical and walk you through the steps. If you do the work, follow the text and examples...this book will prepare you to grow; and continue to grow, as a Solidworks user and prepare you for challenges in 3D space. In comparison to other texts I have used, this is amongst the top! I highly recommend this book to the new user or even the user that needs to brush up on their skills!!

It does ok, when explaining what the tools in the program means, but if your company does not let you download the videos the book suggests, then I don't think the full details of the book.

I couldn’t find complete guiding on different areas of the SOLIDWORKS toolbar. Like the section for “Linear pattern” and “circular”, there were other type of patterns that the book doesn’t touch.Also, I wished it touches ways to solve some error messages.
