The Very Best Tutorial Manual! April 5, 2002
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is one of the best tutorial manuals I have ever used. It is written in an easy to comprehend and "chatty" style, which makes you feel that "Sam" is right there with you whenever you switch on Illustrator 9.0 and start learning. I sped through the tutorials, which are fun to do and practice later on and whenever I need a refresher on a specific point I still turn to this definitive teaching manual. The only part that could have been better described was the construction of patterns and tiles. It took me a while to figure it out as the section was glossed over somewhat. The Adobe manual for Illustrator 9.0 comes into its worth only after you have grasped the basics and these are provided by working through this marvelous instruction book. In record time I was able to use Illustrator 9.0 for all our book cover artwork and design/publishing needs. Our finished product is "Accused By Facet-Eyes, A Classic Science-Fiction Novel" (C.B.Don) so you can take a look at what can be done once one has graduated from "Sam's Teach Yourself Illustrator 9.0" school! Highly recommended and essential...thank you Mordy Golding "Sam"!

I have been using Illustrator since version 5.5 and have always had difficulty understanding why it did some things differently from what I was expecting. I should have bought a Mordy Golding book years ago as it alone has given me the insight I needed to make this program do what I wanted it to do.Once you have this understanding then the other books will help but I've found that most of them don't help you get that basic user experience and understanding of this program. If Adobe wants users to switch from Freehand, it should be giving this book away with every crossgrade. It really is that good.
Incredible Sam Will Change Your Life February 21, 2002

I have to say that for someone who has no illustrator skills and needs to learn illustrator for personal or professional purposes; This is the best way to start. It builds up your skills from going over the basic to explaining what every palette/window will do in a smart sequence. Other books are more like user guides that cover things without any order making it difficult to learn. After you read this book( it takes about a week to finish if you sit down everyday for a few hours) you will be able to start exploring how illustrator will benefit your needs. GOOD LUCK AND ENJOY THIS BOOK ITS LOTS OF FUN & EASY READING

 Good help February 21, 2002
but where are the color pictures. Many of the illustrations comment on differences that can only be viewed in color but all are in black and white. This I will never understand.
