Being new to Illustrator 7 I needed something to get mt feet wet. After reading Mr Staten Island's review I figured why not. The Author knows what he is talking about, but my biggest problem is the fact that there are no color pics at all to show you what a finished product looks like. They look like cartoons. Where are the "real world" examples? The chapter on wacky text effects is a joke, it gives you some insight but once again where are the real exapmles. Some of the examples don't come out like his do in the book. This book is for someone who has a graphics background. I got a bad feeling about this book when I first opened it. This book may help you, but it sure didn't help me. I feel like I wasted some money on this.

I bought this book as I was new to this software. It does explain in detail the various points. I feel their should have bee a chapter for using Illustrator for web and a bit more on using Illustrator ad Photoshop together

This book provides a wealth of knowledge. The author tries to be as concise as possible, but with all the info given it proves to be difficult at times. It is a good building block for the beginner, as well as a good reference guide for the intermediate and advanced graphic artist. He seems to cover all bases on most subjects. I give it thumbs up Roger!
