Introduction to Solid Modeling Using SOLIDWORKS 2019
Introduction to Solid Modeling using SolidWorks primarily consists of chapter-long tutorials, which introduce both basic concepts in solid modeling (such as part modeling, drawing creation, and assembly modeling) and more advanced applications of solid modeling in engineering analysis and design (such as mechanism modeling, mold creation, sheet metal bending, and rapid prototyping). Each tutorial is organized as keystroke-level instructions, designed to teach the use of the software. This new edition has been fully updated for the SolidWorks software package. All tutorials and figures have been modified for the new version of the software.Additional resources are available online at www.mhhe.com/howard2019. Included on the website are tutorials for three popular SolidWorks Add-Ins, SolidWorks Simulation, SolidWorks MotionTM and PhotoView360. Instructors can also access PowerPoint files for each chapter, the book figures in PowerPoint format, model files for all tutorials, and end-of-chapter problems, as well as a teaching guide.What's have been updated for the new version of the software-Fully updated text to reflect newest version of SOLIDWORKS-Tutorials and figures have been updated for the new version of the software

I have this book as it was required course material.
I have read it first in an introductory course in SolidWorks and again a few years later to refresh myself.
I am giving this book a low rating because it confuses simple examples by adding unnecessary information especially about customizing the work space. It also gives unnecessarily long explanations for simple operations especially as the book progresses.
I would not recommend this book a desktop reference, and it barely serves it's purpose as an introductory resource.
