The Adobe Illustrator CS4 Wow! Book
$59.99
I bought this book to paralell with the Adobe Revealed book that i found quite confusing for a beginner in vector graphics , its a blessing not only as a reference book , but now i can see Why things are doing what they are doing. Also the book in my opinion is a plethora of information for the beginer to the advanced and to the pro.In my belief this book will not be one of those you read and put on a shelf due to the advanced knowledge , reference material , and the realy cool projects in the book.This is one well written book , and not a corporate rush job...so in my opinion it deserves a 10.

I was really disappointed with this book because it seems to be just a printout of the Illustrator Help files.
There's no value-added discussion of Illustrator's features. There's no humor, personality or conversation in the book...it's like a computer wrote it. It's such a boring read that I had trouble concentrating after reading a few pages.
