Summary: dispointed
Comment: The book is very easy to read and understand. But since the books is old you can't download the supporting files at the web site mentioned on the book. Don't buy this book get the newer version!!

Summary: Pedagogically challenged
Comment: I did get a few useful bits of information from reading this volume, but that's my point: it's organized as units of information unrelated to the real world that Illustrator is used in.
This is NOT a plug for the 'Real-World' series, which, as a reference manual, isn't a tutorial or workbook. The revealed series is marketed as a workbook-style book, & occasionally lives up to it, but all too occasionally. Were I a novice, I don't believe I would have a coherent grasp of Illustrator as a whole, just unrelated bits of technique.

Summary: Pages coming out
Comment: I am not very satisfied with my purchase because the book it's brand new, and just take it to college once a week and I am very careful with it, now the pages are coming out of the book. It's like the glue used to put the book together is gone and the book is falling apart. I would like that you check that, I had the book with me and don't even take it to school anymore because of that problem.
Thank you for your time.

Summary: Functional, but poorly constructed
Comment: This is a great book in it's color version only (if you're in a class or comfortable with illustration programs). But, don't bother with the B&W version Adobe Illustrator CS2 Revealed. While it doesn't matter that you don't get the CD, since you can download all the files from a source they provide you, it DOES matter if you can't keep the book together. It has pages falling out of it from the first time you open the book. Spend the extra money on the color version with the CD, the binding is much better.

Summary: Self Destructing Book
Comment: Go ahead and buy if you like throwing your money out the window. The pages fall out of the book as you read. Images are all B&W.
