Great book! -
I'm an architecture student from Brazil and i gotta say i just looove this book. I strongly recommend it for students and professionals as well.
Explains little -
I don't know why this book is so popular. It's so hard to follow. The instructions are skimpy (no step by step, just the final product), the verbiage is meant to impress not explain, and it contains the exact same drawings that are in other Ching books, such as Design Drawing. The drawings themselves are complicated, obtuse, and for all the talk of the importance of line weight, they have almost none (making them even harder to read).
Uncomplicated, basic -
If you are a person like myself whose idea of a perspective drawing is a line of telegraph poles disappearing into the distance next to a road, then this is the book for you, and me as it turned out.
Starting from the different grade of pencil through the different forms of architectural presentations, with easy to read explinations.
I would strongly recommend this book to anyone who is learning architectural graphics.

Information is not weighted in a way that makes sense -
I know that Ching is revered in the field and is recommended by virtually all, but I'm just not feeling the love, especially for this particular book. The graphics in the book have a "sketchy" look I don't just don't find appealing or inspiring. A more serious problem is the way the information is weighted: there are pages of illustration/discussion about simple things like line weights and triangles, which would lead one to assume this is a beginner's book. That would be fine, but as the book progresses, the depth of information dissapates, so that a beginner who tries to follow instructions, for instance, on preparing a perspective or isometric drawing would be completely unable to do so. In this way, the book reminds me of certain assemble-it-at-home instructions: Step one is to get out your tools, step two is to take out the pieces, and step three is to put the thing together. If you're already a professional, you don't really need to see an illustration of a lead holder. If you are an absolute beginner, you need more thorough instructions. Really, I can't imagine the audience for whom this book is intended.
