2.0 out of 5 stars images are crude quality, January 27, 2010

I like the concept of this, but the fact is that the images are not high quality enough to be useful for me unless I work on them quite a bit with an image editor. Of course, I could scan them myself from the pages, but that's time consuming, and that's why I wanted the CD. So, I'm using it more for concepts. I do love the styles and variety of images. Maybe I'm just spoiled by the wide availability of vector images, but this set is just not up to par for my purposes.

I was looking forward to using this classic clip art in a (Microsoft Publisher) newsletter I do for our Senior Citizen complex. Thought I was proficient in these things but found the directions to be vague or almost none on how to copy/paste or get a clip from the disc to my newsletter. It loads a page of clip art, but then what? I called the help phone number but the only option was to leave a message. Also sent two different emails to the Dover people. Sadly no response! Have mailed it back to Amazon for a refund, disappointed for sure!
