This book has been enormously helpful to me. It explains the basics of using Photodraw thoroughly and gives you lots of ideas for using the tools and dealing with some of the program's quirks. I also learned a lot of stuff that I didn't know about working with computer graphics in general. I recommend it highly.

I found this book to be of great assistance with easy to follow instructions. Following them gives a good product making one feel good about one's achievement. Since I am not an expert on "dummies" books as others indicate they are, (or do they have close ties with the this book's competition) I only use what works for me and this book does.

I was excited to get a copy of PhotoDraw 2000 and wanted to get up to speed ASAP. The For Dummies book did that and then some. This was my second Dummies book and I have been pleased with both. There were some good tips to work around limitations in the software and for setting up my scanner. You get a lot for your $ with both the software and the book.

If you use PhotoDraw 2000, which I highly recommend over the much more expensive Adobe Photoshop 6, this book is a must. IT clears up any questions that you might have and gives you all the information you might want to know.

It tells you about all the different toolbars, menus, and preferences you can tweak and use to their full potential. You can become just as good of a graphic designer as any 'Photoshop-er' with this guide to the program.

Highly Recommended

Worst Dummies book I have tried to use and I might note the only one I found NOT to be very helpfull. This one really misses the mark. It is most difficult to follow and comprehend. I have a long history with the Dummies Series (I'm not sure what that says about me!). It's a good thing this was not the first cause it would have been the last!
