Summary: Good learning book
Comment: This book is a great place to start learning. The information is accurate, well written and excellent. Alspach uses humor to make the learning of Illustrator a little less intimidating. The illustrations are well done and explain the theory well. The book is full of tips that will make the reader more productive and efficient with the application. Maybe not for intermediate or advanced users but a great starter book for Mac and Windows users.

Summary: Book is Not Mac Compatible!
Comment: The author of this book has a personal bias against Mac's. Don't feed his ego by buying this book!
Here's the quote FROM THIS BOOK: "As of 2003, Windows systems have taken a decisive lead over Macs when it comes to performance," Alspach writes in his book. "The difference is most apparent with graphics applications such as Photoshop and Illustrator, but you'll notice it with other applications as well. If you're thinking of purchasing a new system, and speed and responsiveness is important (or at least more important than the feel of the OS, I suggest getting a zippy PC over a (comparably) sluggish Mac."
Considering the G5 desktop, his statement is misinformed. I have no idea how his comment against Mac's is relevant to the book, yet it's in there.

Summary: Unfortunate bias included....
Comment: Unfortunately Ted decided that this book about Illustrator would be a good place to share his platform preference (he recommends PCs over Macs). The only problem with his advice is that it is based purely on computer performance, and there is alot more to consider when choosing a platform. For example, Ted's advice also steers his readers towards endless virus headaches, privacy and security problems, and years of unexpected costs just to keep your "higher performing" computer up and running.
