Summary: Great Book to Start Learning Illustrator 8
Review: I am new Illustrator 8 and do not feel comfortable with the Adobe User Guide... which I think is showing too much in a small book...This book is great. It has useful illustrations that greatly supports the explanation. I guess only with enough illustrations one gets to know the features and how the tools can be used in different ways to produce the different effects in the illustrations. This book is a great help to me in learning Illustrator 8. I think you will also love it if you are also new to the software.

Summary: An ugly duckling but...
Review: This black and white "ugly duckling" is quite informative. Like most books it leaves something to be desired when more complex tasks are attempted; i.e. the gradient mesh function. If you're new to Illustrator, like I am, this book will definitely get you going in the right direction. After finishing this book I bought "The Illustrator 8 WoW Book"; see my review on it. Also, remember that many of the aspects of Adobe Illustrator have similar functions in Adobe Photoshop; of which I'm already very familiar. For all you "newbies" out there or old time Photoshop hands, this book will get you up to speed. Finding the next book to keep you moving speedily forward is another story. I'll keep you posted on my next findings. Until then, the novice "vector image" student is outahere.
