WRR Review

Illustrator CS3 Bible is an average book with decent information. It starts off going over the basic information, like most of these instructional books, and then moves on to more exciting and challenging info.
We like that the author explains each tool and command that Illustrator has. For all you "shortcut" addicts out there, there is a complete listing of all the keyboard shortcuts, which is pretty nice.
Overall a good book for learning how to use Adobe Illustrator, but not much help on actual techniques for designing.
