Summary: Best way to learn Illustrator- For every level of user
Comment: I've been teaching Illustrator classes since 1989. I only wish I'd had the Wow book when I first started.
The Illustrator Wow book is one of the best resources EVER for any artist or designer who wants to create illustrations, designs, or graphics.
First of all, the artwork is exceptional. Just leafing through the pages becomes an inspriational lesson as to what sort of great graphics are being creating using computers and vector programs. I was totally blown away by some of the artists (yes, REAL artists) who are featured. Ms. Steuer shows examples from artists I have seen mentioned in award show books. Just to see this artwork up close is a benefit, but to then follow the step by step tutorials on how to make the techniques is worth ten times what the book costs.
One thing you have to watch out for. If you are a beginner, don't just plop yourself into the middle of the book and expect to follow the sophisticated lessons. You need to work through the introductory chapters to get a handle on what the program does and how the book works. I promise you, just a few minutes with the beginning chapters will change your whole perception of how the book works.
This is probably the best version of the Illustrator Wow book yet. Just like Illustrator 10 has blown away all the competition, so the Illustrator 10 Wow book stands apart from all the other books out there.

Summary: Enormous Help for Learning Illustrator 10: Get This Book!
Comment: Drawing is challenging enough for me in the real world but it is a snap compared to doing it in a vector based computer art program. Illustrator 10 is one such program and the one I am trying to learn. This book is the best one to use after the very easy "Teach Yourself Visually: Illustrator 10 (Visual Read Less, Learn More" by Mike Wooldridge and Michael Toot book (which I've previously reviewed). Steuer's Wow text is very visual with lots of graphics and color yet goes much deeper into the program than the Woolridge and Toot book. Ironically, it is very difficult to find computer arts books which are visual, well laid out and with a colorful, graphical interface. The Wow books are filling that void very nicely. This, like the "Photoshop Wow" book, is easy to read and well laid out. This text also has a very good CD-ROM with it that is loaded with extra features and extra excercises. The CD-ROMs that accompany these texts are the frosting on the cake. More and more art work by artists in the field using the program appear on the CD-ROM while the text visuals remain heavily "how-to." Frankly, I find this book even more helpful than the actual tutorials I've watched in the college classroom in person and live. I highly recommend buying this book if you want to learn Illustrator 10. Author Sharon Steuer is a terrific teacher and her book makes it possible for all of us to take her "class".

Summary: Wow indeed!
Comment: From the ground up, this book presents real-world design projects which emphasize the use of each tool in this complex program. The layout of the book is especially nice; simple typesetting and clear beginning-to-end screenshots demonstrate each follow-along project. The chapters, projects, and galleries progress at the right rate, so that even total new-comers like me don't get lost along the way to the advanced techniques. The result is an effective, logically based, and almost intuitive skill in all areas of illustration.
