Sketchup is a lot of fun and this book provides the methods that are not immediately obvious and makes this application even more satisfying.
Rating: - Barely useful
The author tells you which tools to use, but not how to apply them. The book is more of an outline than a set of educational exercises or instructions. I'm finding Sketchup's help system significantly more useful.

Like all "Dummies" books this is an invaluable reference work for a complex subject. This book is helpful for a beginner, just discovering "Sketchup" and also for a frequent user, needing a helping hand.
Rating: - Essential for Someone New to Sketchup
Chopra has written an excellent book. Good sense of humor, easy to understand, practical and well organized. Some of the "For Dummies" books are a little too cute. The writing style gets in the way of the information. That is not the case with Chopra's book. His humor and personality make the subject interesting. I am a beginner with Sketchup, but I think more advanced users will benefit from this book too because of the way the book is organized and the depth of the information. The book works as a reference as well as a collection of tutorials.

I was new to SketchUp. And this book helped a lot. I learned things that weren't mentioned in video and other tutorials.
Also, it was easy to read.
