Summary: Helpful But Poorly Written
Comment: The format is good, and for an "introduction" I liked the simple projects, small datasets, etc. However, I must say that the book was very poorly written and obviously never proofread. The misspellings, misused words, sentence duplications, etc. were annoying. And sentences like "Setup text styles as taught in the CEST51 class.." and "I expect to see..," plus no index, made it obvious that the book is a compilation of the author's class notes and not much more. At the very start, directions were not given for loading menus that the author seemed to presume were available. Later, directions were given to complete tasks without instructions about the procedures required. The numbering of quadrants, which might be new to beginners, for example, were not explained at the first use of LINES/CURVES + By Direction, LINES/CURVES + Add Dynamic Labels and LINES/CURVES + Flip Direction which are required to complete Assign08 were never mentioned, etc., etc. Especially in view of so few LDD3 resources available, the book might have been valuable if it had simply been written better and more carefully prepared for publication.

Summary: Waste of Money
Comment: I am very unhappy about my purchase of this book. I was looking for a reference manual and instead received a class room text that offers less than the tutorial supplied in the help section of the software.
