Summary: Classroom in a Book, the best way to learn Adobe Products
Comment: If you are new to any Adobe software, the best way to learn it, is the Classroom in a Book. These books are well-written, the exercises are excellent and easy to follow and Adobe does a good job of setting up a logical order of features to learn. If you buy this book and complete it, cover to cover, you won't be an Illustrator expert. You will, however, have an excellent foundation to becoming an expert!
As a professional designer, I have been using Adobe products for years now. Every time a new version of Photoshop or Illustrator comes out, I purchase the Classroom in a Book to go along with it. Not only do I learn the new features, I also fill gaps in my knowledge. (You'd be surprised how often we "experts" don't know (or forget) some of the basics, making some of our tasks more difficult than they need to be.
Another note, if you are new to design, pay careful attention to the look of the completed projects. The were obviously put together by excellent designers.
My only complaint with Adobe is...given the price of the software, these books should be included in the package.

Summary: Beginners beware...Intermediate have fun!
Comment: Typical of the "Classroom in a Book" series, this book is set up as a series of lessons. They take you through the major functions of Illustrator providing both instructional overviews and hands-on exercises. Lessons-wise, I can't fault the authors. They did a bang up job of hitting all of the major functions of the program.
I would however like to warn users to realize that this book and the others in the series are really not for beginners. Illustrator like its sister tool Photoshop packs A LOT of functionality. If you are a beginner and you start going through these lessons, you may feel VERY overwhelmed. I strongly suggest beginners start with another perhaps out of the SAMS 24 hrs version. Good intro. Then buy this book and try the lessons. You really need the grounding in the application so you won't feel blown away.
I really did like this book, but it is truly for intermediate to advanced users only.

Summary: Not that easy to follow
Comment: Not a very easy book to follow. Also I did not a few mistakes in the book that made me pull my hair out.
Otherwise the information presented and the exercises were good with alot of hands on practice.
There was a problem with the CD-Rom as I opened the an illustration from lesson 00, Illustrator gave me a message that the AGaramond Bold is not installed on my system. I couldn't find that font on the CD-Rom, I am guessing Adobe would like it's customers to additionally buy the fonts from them as well.
If the book was written differently with the same lessons and objectives, it would be much more clearer to understand and a 4 hour job would easily be completed in 1 hour.
