At our office we have been on the lookout for some Revit books. Has anyone checked either of these out? If so, would you say that they are worth the investment or can you atain the same knowlege from the tutorials?
Autodesk Revit Building 8 for Architects and Designers by Sham Tickoo
Residential Design Using Revit Building 8 by Daniel John Stine
Thansk in advance

I am from Australia so the problem I have is that there aren't any good books in metric format, but thats another story.
I have the Sham Tickoo book and it's Ok (apart from being in Imperial) the one thing I found is that it is good to be able to have the book beide you rather than using the screen help/reference all the time. I believe the tutorials in Revit are very good (and come in a metric format- I should get over thisproblem shouldn't I?) and to a large degree the tutorials should be mostly what you need to get up to speed then you need practice,practice,practice,practice & then ask the members on RevitCity, they have helped me enormously.

I have both of these books that you've mentioned.
The one by Daniel John Stine is by far the better book to start of with; it eases one into Revit and is the better-written of the two books. I just completed it and am now learning and working off the built-in Help menu and Tutorials. The book by Tickoo is more helpful to me as a reference book, like an encyclopedia.
There is an "Advanced" Revit book coming out this Spring, available from Amazon.com.
It is unfortunate but true that while Revit is a great program; the available documentation and tutorials leave much to be desired. I find that in my learning process I must draw my information from several different sources.
