 Great Tool May 01, 2009
By Andrew R. Thomas
"Andy T"
This book has taken me from being a part-time user of Illustrator to somebody who feels confident every time I now open up the application. Everything is bitesize and easy to digest. A must-have!

Great teaching tool - learning resource Jul 10, 2009
By C. Hoyt
"Tree-Hugger"
I wouldn't recommend this if you've NEVER used Illustrator. However, it is a wonderful resource. I wish he made one for Premiere/After Effects. I teach my video students at the Defense Information School basic Illustrator. I use this book as a teaching guide. I find it more useful than Adobe's "Classroom In A Book." The explainations are crisp, analogies clear, tips applicable. I really like the layout. It reminds me of the "Dummy" series, but much more streamlined.
Bravo for Chris Orwig!

 Good technical book for someone who already knows how to illustrate but new to using Adobe Illustrator Aug 19, 2010
By Wilson
This book is a technical documentation/manual describing the tools (and their properties/settings) in Adobe Illustrator CS4. I wish there were in dept examples demonstrating the power of the program.
This book is good for someone who:
-'' wants to know what each of the settings in the dialogue box means
''- is an illustrator and want to learn how to use Adobe Illustrator CS4
''- is upgrading to CS4 and wants to learn the new tools
-'' wants to know how get the most out of each tool
This book may not be for you:
-'' if you want to learn to illustrate
-'' if you require step-by-step examples in order to learn to use a new tool
-'' if you are looking for tricks
