Summary: A Must Read Book for Beginners
Review: I found this book very useful since I know very little about Illustrator. It is not an easy to master application. The book covers all the basics. Examples are easy to follow. The level of this book is Beginners to Intermediate. I didn't encounter any technical problem when installing the CD. Like all Classroom in a book, there is no colourful illustration or picture. Everything is in black and white. It is a bit dry when compared to the Illustrator 8 Wow Book. However the Wow book is not as comprehensive as this one.

Summary: Great for newcomers and Internet startup
Review: I've been using Illustrator lightly for years and always wanted to learn more about it but was studying other stuff. I'm an Internet consultant usually working around programmers and network engineers but sometimes, I need a fresh graphical look when we do not have anybody to do it.This book definitely gave me a great insight of a lot of "How-to" with Illustrator. If you look at an image and wonder "How did they do that?". Well the answer could most likely reside in Illustrator and this book will explain how. I would recommend this book to any Internet beginners that wants to know how to design nice design without taking a one-way trip to hell.

Summary: Adobe Illustrator 8.0: Classroom in a Book
Review: The book should have been spiral bound at the top with an inbuilt cardboard copy holder, so you could just flip the pages. As it is, you have to break the back of the book to have it lay flat. Basically, the book is just about manipulating artwork provide on CD. It isn't a real, building, step by step procedure. You will probably need another book after you finish with this book.
