Review: The New Solidworks Bible - I learned SW from the Solidworks Bible books from the same author. So, I pre-ordered the book when I found out it was coming out. This is the definitive guide to Solidworks. You can read through the help file or search the forums, but if you want to know the why and how, this is the book you need. Especially if you are first starting SW. For example, any user of SW for a while knows not to use sketch fillets, but rather fillet features if possible. The author breaks it down and gives a nice synopsis of how it can come back to bite you if you make the wrong choice. This is a bit of knowledge that can save a new user a lot of headache. The book is also a good reference for experienced users. If you want to try a new method or feature that you don't normally use, it is a great resource. There are even example files and worked exercises. For instance, I'm not familiar with Sheet Metal. But, looking through that chapter I'm confident I'd be able to figure out enough to make basic sheet metal parts from this book alone. For the price the book is listed now (half what I paid) you really can't go wrong buying it. It'll save you many times that much money in the time it saves you. Review: Superb Knowledge - What's not to like ? 1200 pages of great Information on starting your Solidworks experience , or enhancing it as a Professional. I found quick answers with clear thoughts on several of my issues with Solidworks. Mr Lombard has the unique ability of taking a very technical problem (s) and instructing on the solutions with clear and understandable text. The index alone is over 30 pages and shows the range of subjects covered..stunning I have 6 books on Solidworks and by far, this is the clearest in addressing the complexities that one encounters in using this fine software. Highly recommend this to everyone, My only negative is the paper used in the book is not shiny and hard , but plain and softer which makes changing pages a bit tougher, but it was most likely a trade off to keep the price down and is acceptable. My respect and thanks to the author Matt Lombard for exceeding my expectations

Learning as I go
I can't give an in depth review because I am still in the first chapter. So far I can say that the content is good and I have been able to use the instruction in my designs. The text is small, making it hard to read. Not a problem for those of you with young eyes. a bit challenging for my old eyes, even with my readers.

A valuable reference for Solid Works users
Books may be going the way off the dinasour, but having this one at my finger tips for finding out how to use some of Solid Works less used features or the more complicated ones is far more efficient than googling or youtubing for an answer. Invaluable to have on the shelf and at a very modest cost. It is not a "tutorial" or teaching book, but the basics of "how to" are provided for every feature that are more than adequate for anyone already at basic proficiency.

Well written.
This is a very large book (almost 1200 pages) about Solidworks. I just received this book yesterday and obviously I haven't read the entire book, I have only read a few small sections, but what I like, and what I don't see in other similar books, is that Matt not only tells you what you have to do, but also how you can easily make a mistake if you are not careful. I am referring mostly to chapter 20 that covers "Modeling in Context". This book isn't for beginners who want to learn Solidworks, it is for those who have a basic understanding of the software and want to get a better understanding of it Some additional thoughts. I have had a little more time reading the book. I went to Wiley, the publishes website and found that there are Solidworks examples for all of the chapters, in addition, there are video presentations, for all the chapters. I went to the publisher's website and looked at their cost for this book, it was $75, I paid $35 from Amazon. This book is the best deal I have ever had for a book on Solidworks.

Une référence pour l'utilisation du logiciel et les bonnes pratiques de conception
Une mise à jour de SolidWorks Bible 2013, les chapitres sont organisés de la même manière avec les mise à jour pour SW 2018. Une référence pour les anglophones.

Very broad scope with useful insights
This book is almost comically large, but it's actually not that detailed. If you pick a certain topic then it will give an overview and advice on best practice, but not walk you through what buttons to click (other than the specific tutorials relying on the digital downloads which I haven't done). Lots of really valuable insights, glad I got it and it has improved my solidworks considerably.

Not for beginners!
The book is a great reference and I'm glad I have it. But it is not what I was hoping for as a new student of Solidworks. At over 1000 pages it is a massive tome. What I needed was more of a "first steps". I would not recommend this to beginners.
