What Every Engineer Should Know about Practical CAD/CAM Applications, Vol. 17
I am not sure who the audience for this book is. The beginning chapters are obviously geared toward beginners, but the later chapters are quite complex - a remarkable range for a book under 400 pages. The book does a very poor job clearly explaining advanced topics.
