Summary: Hard program; easy book
Comment: Most Illustrator books tell you how easy it is to use the program, leaving most of us feeling stupid because we can't figure the darn thing out. McClelland starts by acknowledging that Illustrator can be confusing -- you feel better already -- and goes on to assure you that as you learn the program it will become easier and easier to do more and more complicated things. He then goes on to tell you in clear prose and pictures exactly how these things are done. If more how-to books were written this skillfully, fewer of us graphic artists would suffer depressions.

Summary: THE BEST ILLUSTRATOR BOOK
Comment: Deke McClelland is simply the most articulate writer alive on computer procedures. He's clear, witty, and exceptionally knowledgeable. Throw away your manual and use this book instead. And he's accessible. E-mail him if you don't understand something (sorry, Deke).

Summary: Quirky, but an easy and thorough read
Comment: I had been using a small corner of Illustrator in my work for about a year, and this book expanded my horizons significantly. I found this one of the better technical manuals I've read. The information is complete, the treatment thorough, and the information easy to access. I read it cover to cover, and after 2 months it still sits on my desk as a quick reference.
The author has a somewhat strange sense of humor, which I enjoyed. I suppose some people might not want off-beat references made to unrelated items, but I didn't mind, and it made the read easier.
