5.0 out of 5 stars Best Computer Application specific book ever. Period, January 16, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Real World Freehand 5.0/5.5 (Paperback)

I teach many computer and DTP courses and rely extensively on texts for source material and as references. This book is simply the best book ever written on the subject of vector based computer drawing and DTP. Period
