As an absolute beginner this is a wonderful resource. I purchased the printed version so I could easily refer back to spots in the book should I have any issues. Plus, I prefer having the book near my laptop as I read.The topics range from using artboards to 3d rendering. Each lesson tells you how long approximately it should take you for each lesson. These were typically on target, a few I spent additional time trying out what was just taught on a few chapters. Overall,it was 20+ hours of Illustrator help.In a few instances, you will see a shaded box which is a citation from Adobe Help. It was good to know if you had issues, Adobe Help would go in more detail than the book did. It was slightly annoying too to think most of the items could be in the free Adobe help but at least the book is a nice little compilation in an easy to follow fashion.There were a few spots I got stuck in the book but I did not reset my Illustrator preferences as they instruct at the beginning of each chapter- so be certain you do this.Overall, I feel more confident in using Illustrator. I do not feel 100% yet but I am hoping with practice and maybe a vector drawing book I will become an expert. I do suggest this book for beginners. It even goes over what is new in CS5.5, which I found useful upgrading from CS3. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Good for beginners who are willing to spend some time *by R***R on Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2010* The Illustrator is a complicated program but this book does a good job of explaining various features through lessons. While following the instructions in the book, I realized how difficult it is for them to describe every step precisely and clearly, in part because the book has to address both PC and Mac users and the program menus and tool settings change depending on the screen resolution of the user computer. For example, the book asks the reader to click the word Transform but some readers may not see the Transform in the described panel because of their limited screen resolution. So the book describes another way of selecting the Transform. In addition, the Illustrator is highly customizable, so the book reminds the reader to start with the default settings, not just once but over and over again. So the book tries hard not to lose the reader in the lessons by anticipating possible situations the reader may face.Due to the complexity of the program, every step has to be described very clearly in order for the reader to successfully complete each lesson. Sometimes I was stuck because my result from the previous step was different from what the book expected. I thought the book missed some step or the previous step was incomplete. After spending some time trying to figure out what went wrong, I just corrected the result in my way to match the book's result.Considering the complexity of the program and the variety of the user hardware environment, I thought the book does a good job of getting the user started with the Illustrator. I know there is still a long way for me to go but I feel that I have a good foundation to grow from thanks to the book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Learning More Than I Ever Have With this Interactive Course!!! *by P***T on Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2012* I just started reading this book while completing the exercises page by page and for a beginner, it is simple to follow and in my opinion, the BEST way to learn. Doing SO MUCH from the very beginning allows me to follow along at a snail pace while learning even NEW techniques and tools! This book and CD are a MUST-HAVE if you want to learn hands-on and inside-out in order to use the program professionally. From the very first page, you create the cover of a tea box! The second exercise, which I'm on now, is creating and laying out a brochure!The exercises have me pacing the house and wanting to pull my hair out because my brain feels like it is going to explode from all the information, but in a very good way. I feel like this book, if I follow every single step, will truly have me mastering this program little by little.My honest to God advice: If you buy ONE book on Adobe Illustrator CS5, this is the one...and probably all you'll ever need. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hk/products/1882046-adobe-illustrator-cs5-classroom-in-a-book](https://www.desertcart.hk/products/1882046-adobe-illustrator-cs5-classroom-in-a-book) --- *Product available on Desertcart Hong Kong* *Store origin: HK* *Last updated: 2026-06-02*
