"Illustrator and it's foreign tools scared me. Scared no more. [Pariah Burke] not only takes you through a project-oriented approach to learning the tools of Illustrator. But he stops to share insights and tidbits of wisdom from his long and successful career along the way... Less than 30 days ago, I was [an] Illustrator novice. Now I'm proud to show my Illustrator illustrations to all." —Clark Cooper

"When you pay thirty or forty dollars for a computer book, you should make sure that it is worth your hard-earned money. Since I'm an author, technical writer and editor as well as a programmer, I'm a hard cookie to sell. Adobe Illustrator CS2 @Work is an exceptional value that I could not pass up. I believe it is really worth the money... This book is not one of those lengthy computer manuals that you have to spend hours wading through before you find the answer you seek. No, this book is different. This innovative book will teach you practical, useful and efficient ways to use Illustrator. The focus of the book is to teach you to start and complete projects without having to search through dozens of pages to find out how to do what you need to do. The material in this book is tailored for everyone including the novice and the person with more advanced knowledge of Adobe Illustrator. That means that just about anyone can benefit from this book. As a writer and editor, I consider this book one of my most important tools because I've already found uses for many of the things I've learned from its pages." —Dallas G. Releford
