 The one I go to, and I teach the program! July 27, 2009

I've been teaching Illustrator using this series of books for the past 13 years. They have an admirable combination of brevity, excellent organization, clear writing and a excellent section of illustrations that cue students into the real potential of the program. I use them to learn all the necessary upgrades I need to be able to teach. Highly Recommended.
Great Overview and Layout! August 31, 2009

My instructor suggested this book and I decided I needed to do anything and everything I could to survive the class. I turned to this book a countless number of times and will continue to do so for the unforeseen future. I LOVE the layout. The color illustrations and pictures, the size of the book, the easy to navigate index. I once was frustrated trying to figure out how to place type in a certain way. Little did I know that all it ended up taking was looking in the index under "Type, placing in..." Two instructional sentences and I was ready to move on. All that unnecessary frustration. So now I turn to this book first and save the frustration for a little later. Highly recommended.
This is the one! February 18, 2010

I've recently looked at all of the Illustrator CS4 guides/books. This is the best one in my opinion. It is straightforward, easy to use, easy to read. I am just now learning Illustrator but I have used Photoshop and Indesign so I am familiar with Adobe interfaces. There may be better books for experienced users but this is the one for beginners. My only criticism is the cover but don't let it scare you off.

I bought this book for a class at school and it arrived within 5 days of ordering. It seems like it is brand new and it is exactly what I needed for school.
