Amazon.com Review
For the quickest way into CorelDraw, check out this book. A relatively slim volume, it covers all of the main features of CorelDraw 7 for Windows 95 and NT. In each chapter, you get hands-on, step-by-step guidance on a variety of tasks related to a given topic, whether it's using the pen tools, working with nodes and paths, having fun with type, or creating a desktop-publishing document. You also get a thorough grounding in CorelDraw's layers, transformations, special effects, and Web-output options. This book has an appealing, straightforward approach for beginners.
From Library Journal
Peachpit's "Visual Quickstart" guides are real meat-and-potatoes works for beginners. Nothing fancy to be found here, just one annotated screen shot after another. An advanced user will finish one of these books during a two-hour airplane ride; beginners will need a day. But everyone will welcome the purely practical approach.

Great book for beginners!,
By Ken2001 (Memphis, TN) - See all my reviews
This review is from: CorelDRAW 7 for Windows 95/NT (Visual QuickStart Guide) (Paperback)
Of all the Visual QuickStart books that I've read, this book is by far the best. It explains how to use all of CorelDRAW 7's features in easy to follow steps that even a novice like myself can understand. Also, although it's not its purpose, it does a very good job in teaching the user about the software, beyond just merely how to use it. It gives the user an overview about what makes the software tick, without the overkill that one can find in other books about CorelDRAW 7. It has been a lifesaver for me, for it enabled me to teach myself the software, which is what "QuickStart" is all about.

Does what it sets out to do - good quickstart guide,
By A Customer
This review is from: CorelDRAW 7 for Windows 95/NT (Visual QuickStart Guide) (Paperback)
I like the Visual Quick Start range of books a lot as they help me to get started with the minimum pain. I wanted a quick-in to Corel Draw (7) and this handy book summarises all the main functions of Corel Draw. It's entirely in black and white but is written in manageable sections that helped me to get started pretty quickly before I felt the need to look out for a more comprehensive manual. Well written, good value.
