Summary: worx for me
Comment: normally I'm an Illustrator user..but my job has forced me to learn other vector programs like freehand. This book is great for a reference. Basically all I wanted to know is how to do the things I already know how to do in Illustrator, only using freehand. and this book gave me that information. the book explains how each tool and panel works and leaves it up to you to figure how you're going to use them. no tutorials, no history of the program, no filler. I highly recommend this book (and the program also)

Summary: It's a reference, get it..
Comment: Ok. Let's partition the world of Freehand 9 owners into two logical spaces. There are those who have a specific thing they want to get done, and those who don't. I am in the first partition. This book has been written for people like me.
It is a good (not excellent -- see below) reference for helping me to actualize a specific image I have in my head. Being a very experienced user of both AutoCAD 2000 and SolidWorks, I am VERY familiar with the concepts and functionality of layers and the various types of tools. So, I do not need alot of hand holding. Also, I always buy software to accomplish specific tasks as opposed to a gee-whiz purchase with the hope that it will somehow make me competent (ahem..).
My only criticism: on at least two occasions since I purchased the book, I found that Sandy did not fully expain all of the options available with a specific menu selection or modal window. I was left to use trial and error to figure out what the checkbox actually did. I buy books like this to save time. So I had to give her a four star instead of five for this reason. Otherwise, I have saved plenty of time using the index/TOC to get right to an answer.

Summary: Perfect Reference Book on FreeHand
Comment: This is the book to have if you use FreeHand at all. For myself, who uses Illustrator primarily, I found this book to be quite handy for figuring out how to do "x" in FreeHand, which I'm not that familiar with.
