#1 New York Times bestselling author Johanna Lindsay presents
a powerfully romantic Regency-era tale that is breathtaking in scope
and wondrously passionate.
When Sebastian Townshend, son of the eighth Earl of Edgewood, was banished from his family due to the tragic results of a duel, he vowed never to return to England. Now living on the continent, Sebastian has forged a new identity as a deadly mercenary, The Raven. But his former neighbor, Lady Margaret Landor, has different plans for him. Back in England, Sebastian's father has had several accidents and Margaret suspects foul play and deception that reach as far back as the infamous duel. Convinced that only Sebastian can set the situation to rights, Margaret arranges a scandalous bargain with him that includes Sebastian's returning home as her husband. As the newlyweds uncover a deadly scheme, a fierce passion blossoms between them, which neither anticipated -- and neither can resist.

Summary: SketchUp: A very good resource
Comment: Not only is this a great book for beginners who have discovered SketchUp -- and who want a companion to the YouTube videos and other tutorials online, but it also is good for those of us who teach SketchUp to others. The book contains many great examples that "connect" so easily with audiences.
I recommend this book to each and every person who attends one of my seminars.
Hopefully, this will be the launching pad for many new SketchUp users in the "community" so we will have multiplied resources and solutions to share with one another.

Summary: definitely worth it
Comment: Sketch Up was my first attempt at 3D. It was a good step to getting started. You need a book to really learn what it can do. This book is low cost and very worthwhile.
You can do a lot with the free version of Sketch Up but it has some problems accurately creating planes. I was always trying to heal them. If you need to do 3D solids modeling try the free version of Alibre, but you will definitely need the $300 tutorials there though. If you need to do 3D architecture take a look at TurboCAD Pro with Architectural extensions.Google SketchUp For Dummies (For Dummies (Computer/Tech))

Summary: Great book for the beginner
Comment: I recently taught a Google Sketchup introductory class to my Woodworking group - after sampling some of the video tutorials Aidan has available I sought out and purchased the book that references them (this book!). I've found it invaluable as a reference and recommend it to anyone thinking about using Sketchup - it's well written, simply presented and provides ample guidance for the self-learner. It also provided me with some good ideas on presentation when delivering a classroom session on the topic. I plan to present several more classes in Sketchup with a focus on the woodworker and small project design. The book can be used as reference with little adaptation. Sketchup is one of those programs that can be taken in small chunks for a beginner to get up and designing, or it can be explored in depth to produce some stunning presentations, integrated into an entire project plan with examples, production details, animation and movement, multiple perspectives and even cutlists for woodworkers (using the Cutlist plugin). Kudos to the conception and execution and to Aidan Chopra, both the writer of this guide and the Google Sketchup advocate.

Summary: Great for Sketchup beginner/intermediate users
Comment: I started using sketchup for the past 6 months to illustrate and study my designs before having to make final models. I purchased this book with a knowledge base of the program so it was not a "break-through" guide that it might be to someone else. In any case, this book is a clear guide to this program and what's even better is that the author provides free guided videos on Youtube.com to further assist this book.
This book won't reveal any special tricks or teach expert methods if there are any, but it should definitely be read for any users of sketchup who want to solidify their knowledge base of Sketchup. The only reason I left one star out is because it was as "in-depth" as I hoped~

Summary: Google Sketchup for Dummies
Comment: This book helped me to understand the concepts around the Sketchup software. Although I am still doing the tutorials I have been able to model the greenhouse I am building.
