Is there any way to start out of the box drawing type of step-by-step books on this software

Welcome dmcnabb,
1. Look at the Documentation sub-folder for PDF documents:
(c:\Program Files\Graphisoft\ArchiCAD 14\Documentation\)....the Reference Guide has over 1300 pages

2. Download the tutorials from Graphisoft webpage:
(http://www.graphisoft.com/education/training_guides/)

3. Search on Youtube for ArchiCAD

Here is a previous link in which I posted some resources that were helpful to me: http://archicad-talk.graphisoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=36111

Also, Tom Simmons' Step by Step book was very helpful. It is a few versions back but again on the whole the core concepts are there. http://www.cadgarage.com/nestbysttrgu.html
