1.0 out of 5 stars Weak July 6 2004
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
Not sure why my previous review of this book was erased from Amazon, but it was probably whining on the author or publisher's part because of a poor rating.

This book (besides being biased against Mac users) is not the best for new Illustrator users because it doesn't create the best foundation for future learning. Being an advanced user myself, I wanted to buy something for a friend who wants to learn Illustrator, and I thought the Dummy series would be a good place to start. Several lessons instruct users to perform tasks in a way that real world users rarely use (because of inefficiency, better method, etc.).

The Visual Quick Start series or the Classroom in a Book series on Illustrator are far superior to this. (The CIB in a book is really the best--partly because it was written by the pros at Adobe).

3.0 out of 5 stars Book needs to be streamlined July 2 2004
By rob
Format:Paperback
Content of book is good. The author demystifies the technical aspects of Illustrator fairly well.

But the book's organization is below par. The author is verbose at times, and some of his cliches tend to clutter the chapters. For future editions, the author needs to address the fundamental concepts more concisely. Extra visual aids would also prove helpful.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good learning book Dec 5 2003
By John Feld
Format:Paperback
This book is a great place to start learning. The information is accurate, well written and excellent. Alspach uses humor to make the learning of Illustrator a little less intimidating. The illustrations are well done and explain the theory well. The book is full of tips that will make the reader more productive and efficient with the application. Maybe not for intermediate or advanced users but a great starter book for Mac and Windows users.
