Title: Best For Getting Up and Running
Review: Unlike authors of 4 other I own, Kelley seems to know what it is that engineers and draftsmen need to get up and running CATIA V5. He starts you out with realistic problems and drills. He covers various aspects of the program that you need to produce actual designs and drawings. Your confidence is immediate because you are immediatly PRODUCING.CATIA V5 is a gigantic program that has many, many commands and abilities. So you must not expect to be an expert when you finish Kelley's book. The book has only about 210 pages. You will need a more comprehensive reference manual at hand such as Sham Tickoo's many-hundred pages book. Tickoo's book is a good reference manual, but not as good as Kelly's for getting you up and running with real, American engineering problems and drills.Kelley's book comes with a number of errors and typos; so you must often figure out what is wrong. Sometimes Tickoo's book can help. But Tickoo's book has plenty of errors too.
