A very pleasant book to read

This is very good Freecad book for beginers. A reader without any technical background can easily learn 3D modeling techniques. The only "minus" of this book for me is its size, but for other readers this can be a "plus". It would be nice in the next editions to extend the book with more examples of historical inventions.

Good introduction to FreeCAD. Pretty short - only a few hours to read - but covers most popular FreeCAD's workbenches.

Just easy guide for beginer

You can see simple 2d, 3d design tools utilizing some workbench but there are more ones in the freecad software.
