I'd say as a Production Coordinator I'm an intermediate user of Adobe Illustrator CS2. So I didn't need a book w/ too much basic training, although this book is pretty good ad providing you with the exact step-by-step procedures for carrying out certain "Killer Tips." This is a very good all-around book for Illustrator CS2. Above all, there are so many CS2 shortcuts in this book that the average CS2 user wouldn't know. I'd recommend this book to anyone that is looking to extend their knowledge of Illustrator. It's smart and succinct. It's comfortable to carry around - won't way you down, and best of all it's really inexpensive!

I love this book - I'm not a manual reader - and all the typical Illustrator books seem to be geared towards the basics. I wished I had a friend that knew AI inside and out and was willing to share all the little tricks with me - this was the next best thing. Highly recommended. I came looking for a cs5 version but it looks like it's not been updated. Shame. I'd still recommend it for people - the tips still apply. But if a CS5 version comes out I'd snatch it up too!

Only thing I wish it had more of was more tips for creating pattern brushes and patterns. But that's pretty minor -

I'm still picking up stuff from it - so - highly recommended.

All the tips are great for beginners. I am a professional and found only 5% of the book helpful. Not worth the money for only learning 5%. Most of the tips I already knew. For sure it's a beginners book. I have to say after reading through it ONLY once......the book binder fell completely apart! The glue on the binder did not hold up at all. Now all the pages are falling out. TERRIBLE!

Straight-to-the-point, clear & practical. Something useful for any user of Illustrator.
