2.0 out of 5 stars Awful!, May 31, 2005

By	R.M. Fernandez - See all my reviews

This book is just flat out bad. The "techniques" given are nothing more than executing a couple features in the program (i.e. things you would discover on your own after playing around for say...5 minutes).

It is almost robbery to have a $40 list price on this book. There are reference books out there going for half the price as this, and they're MUCH more thorough.

Do yourself a favor and buy ANY other Illustrator book besides this one.
