3.0 out of 5 stars Someone should have told the author it would print in b&w, November 6, 2005
Apparently no one told Chris Botello his book would be printed in black and white. In chapter 8 it says, "When this book was printed, the CMYK image was printed using all four process inks; the grayscale image was printed using only black ink." Sadly, both images were printed using only black. This isn't a huge problem except in illustrations where he refers to a certain color guide or box. I never had too much trouble figuring out what he was refering to because it's written in a very comprehendible way. The only other problem I had with the book may be related to the color/b&w issue as well. There is nothing differentiating tool names from the rest of the text in a sentence. Perhaps the tools were originally a different color from the rest of the text. We'll never know. This wasn't too much of problem except in sentences like, "Simply float the Type on a Path Tool pointer over the path until a plus sign appears beside the pointer, then click the path." I spent several minutes searching the menus for a Path Tool pointer to float my type over before I realized "Type on a Path Tool" is the full name of the tool. These issues haven't been too much of a problem. I still feel I'm learning the program sufficiently. It justs slows me down a little.

2.0 out of 5 stars There are Two versions BEWARE, September 1, 2006
So I bought this book for a class, only to find out that I had purchased the black and white version, that does not come with a disk.

I guess thats why I only paid $ 20.00 for the book. Un benknownst to me the actual version that I needed was the deluxe Education edition. Who Knew?

As far as a text book...its really no different than any other written aide, which is why I do whatever I can to avoid text book.

If you really want to learn a software program use something like Total Traing DVD packages. I can say from exprience you will not be sorry. Its like being in an actual class and what they teach is not just how the software works but actual applications for the real world.

Its a digital age...dont read it, watch it.

1.0 out of 5 stars The WORST text book I have EVER had., April 13, 2006
By C. VinCross (South Bend, IN) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is an absolute waste of paper. Filled with ugly "designs", it focuses on completely unnecessary details while skipping whole sections of useful information. it seems most concerned with making the student duplicate horrible "projects" exactly down to the pixel... rather than teaching the tools.

Avoid this book! It will drive you insane.

You are better off just using the help system in any of these products... you will learn more...faster...without brain damage.
