Finally! A great Revit book
By Revit User
This is a must-have complete guide for Revit. Certainly the one to get. I recommend this book and any other book written by this Author. It is clear, thorough, and has been greatly refined from the first version. There are no lofty 5 page explainations on why you should or should not be using the software, rather it takes you step-by-step with a completely (and many times funny) no nonsense lesson. you can flip to any page and quickly learn something.

Now it all makes sense!
By Davali
A great book to help understand this complex program. A lot of pages but filled with pictures and step by step instructions that are simple to follow. I found it to be cheaper than other Revit books but still thorougly explains the program. Well worth buying as Revit is becoming very dominant in the building industry.

Don’t by the Kindle Version
By ZackPE
The first review is usually written by the author himself hence the 5 stars.
The book is OK but frustrating to follow sometimes. The author over explains some steps and fails to explain others. I had to use the built in Revit help to find some of the commands listed in the steps assuming you should know where to find them.
For a Revit beginer the book deserves a 3.5 stars.
Do not buy the kindle version it is very hard to follow. Myself I am using Kindle for PC with double monitors, one screen dedicated for the Revit, and the other deicated to the Kindle for PC. Still I’d rather follow using a book.
Warning to Revit beginners even if experts in AUTOCAD. learn using a beginner book, I first bought matering REVIT and it was very hard to follow, but not after I went through the No experience required book.
Good Luck, Revit is the Future for CAD operators, Architects and Engineers, it is worth learning.
