[Michael Blackmore · Rating 3 out of 5]

Don't let the three stars fool you, that's simply the limit for this sort of book, IMO.

Good book and it covers the topic in an nice introductory way - which ain't easy given how complex a program Illustrator is.

If you're patient enough to work your way through the book lesson by lesson it will give you a good starting point to begin working will Illustrator.

Of course, the real learning only comes from using and play with the program in reality.
