too simple
Some of the chapters are just wayyyyy to basic. I do not need a whole chapter on how to use the zoom tool
Egh
I had to purchase this book for a class and even though I am completely new to Adobe Illustrator I did not find this book useful. I actually had a easier time using the Help in Iluustrator or going online. The index is mislabeled and doesn't even list everything that is in the book. I will be donating this book to my local library because I don't see me ever using it in the future.
Excellent for the novice
Having never opened Illustrator before I took a class in it, this book has been a life saver. This book is utilized both with the instructor lead course and the on-line course. At the end of a session, I am often confused and struggling, but when I go back and step-by-step review the lesson in the book, it becomes clear and makes sense of what we did in class. In actuality, with this book, you don't need an instructor. You can be your own at your own pace.
Big Help
Started using Illustrator about two months ago and got lost from time to time and had to spend hours trying to unravel my mistakes. This book is wonderful, it is easy to use and is a big help to the novice. I would recomend it to anyone that wants to get to know the product.
Very happy with this purchase!
