Rating: 1 out of 5 Waste of money This book is the worst tutorial Illustrator book out there. It doesn't explain how or why. Not a good book for those new to Illustrator like I am. Rating: 1 out of 5 The worst book I could have purchased.... Unclear, unorganized, and a complete waste of time. Rating: 5 out of 5 This Book Suits My Style I went to "that big book store" and sat down with a small pile of Illusrator books. This was the only one that seemed to fit my style which is that I want to learn tasks only as I need them. I do NOT want to read through any long explanations or background. If right now I want to know how to put type in a circle then that's ALL I want to know and I want to find it very fast. This book does that job for me. I can see how this book may not be in-depth enough for some full time designers but I love it for me, a beginner. I've bought other books in their series since this one and I love them all.
