These books are designed to be used as a quick reference. Not a classroom in a book. I noticed another reviewer mentioned he was an advanced user and didn't find the book useful. Quite frankly, if your that advanced I really don't see why you would need a reference manual. This is excellent to have around if you forget someting and need the information quickly. I did find the Quark visual quick start to be a little more informative...

I have read over 7 books in the Quickstart series. All of them have been very well written and has made me buy one after the other. I ordered this book to start and learn Illustrator 7. It does teach you alot about the program but... All the examples are dull and dry! I am a very patient reader, but I found myself looking at the clock and dreading the time everyday when I made my self sit down and read the book. She also overloads you with information on the program. Hopefully the WOW! Illustrator book will give me the info I need to learn the never ending knowledge for great web graphics=D

This book is Great for beginners, but I am an advanced user and need something more advanced.;-)

I had real problems in getting started with Illustrator. Therefore I ordered two books to make a private course. This book was not the one which made me getting started. In fact I have just browsed through it - it is just standing in my bookshelf as being not interesting enough. It may be a good book when you already know the basics in Illustrator and want to get more out of Illustrator. In fact I do not need to do that for my present type of work. The book that made me getting started was "Teach yourself Illustrator 7 in 24 hours".
