Google SketchUp For Dummies book

Another useful book I have come across recently is Google SketchUp For Dummies, written by Aidan Chopra. While Google's SketchUp is far easier and less complicated than something such as a more dedicated modelling application like 3D Studio Max, it is nonetheless in need of some sort of reference manual to take you through the full variety of features it is equipped with.

While the book itself is more than adequate on that, what is even more impressive is that the author has uploaded 62 tutorial vids to compliment the book release and all of these tutorials are entirely free and can be found on YouTube! A great move both in a marketing and also SketchUp-community sense and one that leads me to recommend this book even more! For more info on the book see http://www.sketchupfordummies.com/.
