I have adopted this book for the upcoming Spring 2024 semester. This book will be the required textbook for CADD 1201 Advanced CAD class. This class will have 15 enrolled. I have access on-line to the e-book, and currently requesting a desk copy for my use to begin my lesson plans. Thank you so much, so glad to have this book back in my classroom. Aaron Goodman
Is it possible for me to receive a free copy of the book? I teach the course.
