Book 'em

Ever notice how the box your new AutoCAD came in keeps getting smaller and smaller? We have.

Once upon a time that box used to be 9 x 12 and 5 inches thick. It contained a hard cover User Manual, and soft cover Customization Guide and LISP Programming Reference Manual. Nowadays there is a small Getting Started booklet and that's it. I am sure their bean counters decided that most people don't read a manual, so why include them? <Editorial> I think they are being cheap. </Editorial>

But there's more, unseen to your eyes. There are now four books, and you are entitled to one of them free for each seat of AutoCAD you own.

Go to the website: Autodesk Book Request and after you fill in your part number and serial number you will be able to select one of four books:

User's Guide
Customization Guide
Network Administration Guide
ActiveX & VBA Developer's Guide

Which will be sent free of charge. No shipping charges either. If you have more than one seat, then you can order a different book for each seat. Collect them all.
