WRR Review

Adobe Illustrator CS3 How-Tos: 100 Essential Techniques is just like the other How-Tos, containing useful and accurate information, but not the "answer all" book you're probably looking for. Some of the topics that are covered are; drawing with lines, shapes, brushes, working with layers, 3-D effects, and much more.
All the information is straight forward, easy to read and understand, but we feel is definitely more directed to beginers.
Overall a solid book for beginners and might not be a bad reference resource for more experienced users.

This info-packed guide lets users get right down to work by focusing on the Illustrator CS3 features they're most likely to use and showcasing each in a stand-alone tip--complete with a relevant hint or two and a graphic example. In this fashion, readers learn just what they need to know, exploring the program in a way that makes sense to them. Before they know it, users will be using the new path eraser tool and making vivid artwork using the new Live Color feature and the updated recolor filters, as well as creating symbols and applying instances and exporting their work to Adobe Flash.
