• Not For The Beginner
11 September, 2002
I am about half way into this book and it's driving my crazy. Thank god that I already know Photoshop 'cause otherwise I'd be lost. The book is badly organized, making references to tools that aren't introduced until 200 pages later, it lacks illustrations and clear examples and I've found several errors so far. It is repetitive in some ways which makes it boring to read. There has to be a better book out there.

• Steep Learning Curve: Be Prepared For Confusion.... At First
25 May, 2001
While I find this book to be one of the most informative books around on AI9 it has a few shortfalls. For one, it shouldn't use a word to describe itself!! This is one of my biggest peeves with this book in the earlier chapters. AI9 tools should be described in plain english. If your learning this for the first time be prepared to be a bit confused for a while. Second, many of the examples in the book are NOT clearly illustrated (how ironic) and last but certainly not least, some of the "step by step" examples should be made much easier to follow in the beginning of the book. For those that have some knowledge of AI9 or plan on doing this professionally, this is a must own!! Hopefully they will bring back the "disk included" for the next version. It is much easier to learn WITH the disk!! P.S. How about some more color for an illustration book.

• A Keeper
05 April, 2001
I found this book to be well-constructed and full of informative, helpful and practical examples for the novice and a great reference for the experienced. The book takes the user from a "WHAT IS a vector?" level to the more advanced "JUST GIVE ME THE MEAT" level. From the very minute I opened the book I was able to start drawing. I have created a set of basic drawings that has allowed me to win several new clients. My next step is to design an full color brochure that maximizes my illustration and design effectiveness. This will be a treasured and well-used book in my personal library for a very long time....

• One Of Few Good Illustrator Books
23 August, 2001
I spent the last 3 weeks with this book working through it page by page, and agree with readers who both praised the book for its comprehensiveness and how its presentation was at times confusing. I would go so far as to say that some examples were downright frustrating by their lack of clear explanation. But this was the exception rather than the rule. If you're new to Illustrator (Photoshop experience will help), this book will take you to the point where you feel somewhat proficient if you work through the many examples.
