From Library Journal
Virtual Classroom covers basic program features and techniques step by step, with helpful notes and shortcuts. Per the series, it also includes video lessons on a CD-ROM that show and expand on the techniques in the text. Adobe's official effort, Classroom in a Book starts with a quick tour of common functions and moves on to more detailed lessons on specific topics and techniques, such as creating web graphics and working with layers. The review questions and suggestions for further practice ending each chapter, as well as the CD's lesson art files, are useful self-study aids. QuickStart jumps right into the Illustrator interface, though it does so a bit messily at first. Other chapters, however, provide helpful illustrations and screen shots. This is better reference than self-study material readers can easily look up how to accomplish common tasks. Special Edition is more appropriate for intermediate to advanced users, spending extra time covering version 10's new features and advanced topics like dynamic data-driven graphics. Troubleshooting sections at the end of each chapter answer common questions. All of these titles are appropriate purchases for public libraries. Institutions owning version 9 guides should upgrade for coverage of 10's new features.

Customer Reviews & Comments
Author Karlins has written a concise guide to Illustrator. He has extrapolated from his mastery of the application so that even a novice can read and understand the techniques he explains. The CD-ROM tutorials offer an opportunity for an interactive experience which are of value in conjunction with the text. As a first time student of Illustrator, this book was invaluable in helping me overcome my fear of the pen tool! There is a great deal of content in the book - it is a reference to which I will continue to refer as my skills develop and questions arise as to how to perform specific tasks and create certain effects in Illustrator.
