Books for 2k5

My company has procured a copy of AutoCAD 2005. We are hoping to blaze a
trail corporate wide with it. I am very excited about this upgrade and I
have been charged with learning, loving and living it.

So, I seek recommendations of books and/or authors on how best to get up to
speed on this program. I know of Sham Tickoo's books as well as George
Omura's and Ralph Grabowski's. Has anyone here used their books concerning
ACAD2005?

I am also looking for books on VBA, ALISP, and VLISP. In particular, books
written for those with little-to-no programming experience. It's been some
time since I did any LISP coding, at least 4 years; even then it was fairly
minimal. I saw a book online, titled 'VBA for AutoCAD 2005 - Guide for the
Non-Programmer' by Jerry Winters. Is anyone familiar with this gentleman's
work?

This will be cross-posted to ACAD 2005 group, so I apologize for duplicates
ahead of time.
