Customer Reviews

Excellent

This book makes it easy for beginners while offering a vast amount of information for advanced designers as well. The step by step instructions are easy to follow. Great illustrations and graphics. A must have for ANYONE who wants to use Illustrator, whether you are just a kid playing around, a student, or a professional artist.

A good introductory manual

Skip the manual and read this book instead. Text is appropriately detailed and clear. Many illustrations and examples. Overall, the book is a great introduction to the program and a good reference. However, this is not a step-by-step project guide or tutorial. Don't be fooled by the beautiful color illustrations in the middle of the book...this book won't make you an expert, only an advanced beginner.

A MUST HAVE

This Visual Quick Start Guide Book is excellent. Easy to follow directions for anything that you want to do in Illustrator. Highly recommended for beginners, and experts too.

A no-nonsense, "user friendly" instructional guide

Illustrator 10 For Windows & Macintosh is a "must-have" reference for all Illustrator 10 beginner through intermediate level users.
