5Perfect step-by-step guide for learning Illustrator CS3  Apr 26, 2008 By James S. Pepitone "beginner"
This manual provides someone just getting started using Illustrator with clear explanations for each menu option, tool, and function, along with step-by-step instructions on how to use them. All the other manuals inevitably assume that the reader is familiar with earlier versions of Illustrator and take too much for granted. The tool-by-tool organization and step-by-step instructions of this manual are refreshingly clear and specific, and tell the reader exactly how to use this powerful software.

5Excellent resource, great companion to a class.  Sep 03, 2008 By kre8iv1
I am taking a series of courses on the Adobe CS3 design programs. These books are the required texts.

I am extremely pleased with the content and support they provide for me to learn the programs.

They are a mix between "techbook" and "textbook" - they are NOT as dry as other technical manuals, yet cover "just enough" material to help out in a tight spot.

There may be other books that other reviewers prefer, however I wish to point out that they are titled "QUICK START" guides, not "every single thing you need to know about this piece of software" guide.

If you are trying to learn the software on your own, might I suggest the Adobe Press "Classroom in a Book" series. Also the Adobe Press "Real World" book series gives insights into the software that these quick start guides do not. If you are learning with a teacher, these books fit the bill.

4Good book...Helpful  Jan 29, 2009 By CJ
I needed to quickly find my way around Illustrator CS3 to create a logo and this book was just what I needed. I was able to read the particular sections that pertained to what I wanted to know in order to get information to assist me, and it worked out great. If you are looking for a step-by-step instruction book to find your way through Illustrator CS3 this is not it.


5Another Good Book  Jul 28, 2010 By MarketingGuy
I've taught myself the basics of getting interesting graphics done with this book, so I consider it a great success. All of the VQS books in my library have been very useful.
