For the first video in the new cad nauseam YouTube channel, I’ve had a bit of fun. I unearthed a bunch of my old stuff to show you. Does any of this take you back? Enjoy!

I’ll never sell my Maximizing AutoLISP by Rusty Gesner and Joseph Smith. I also have the Visual LISP: A guide to Artful Programming. Now that was cutting edge.
I bought both myself as the company I was at would not.
That wonderful R10 hardback gave my perpetual license a finished, professional appearance. My final 2016 is just pixel dust. Ashes to ashes…
I’m so grateful that the documentation of AutoCAD today is all digital, so that it is always up to date, corrections can be made to it mid-cycle, and that it is chock full of hyperlinks so you can easily find related data.
Very good idea Steve. I probably have the same kind of material as you, may be because we both started with Autodesk a *few* years ago…
Hi Steve,
thanks for making my book ‘Mastering AutoCAD Object’ #1 in your AutoCAD memorabilia video. And yes, adding a year or version number to the title was one of the most stupid decisions the publisher made. Had they not, they could have sold the same book at least ten years longer.
Kind regards
Dietmar

I still have my copy of Deitmar’s Mastering AutoCAD Objects book. I would have had his DXF Standard book as well but my German isn’t up to par.
Another oldie I keep around is Owen Ransen’s “AutoCAD programming in C/C++”.
