STY Adobe Creative Suite 3 All In One

This book gives a very brief overview of the Suite and is not useful if you are a complete beginner which I am. I have since bought seperate books for the individual packages. Maybe I will revisit it once I am more proficient.

I bought this book hoping to use it to learn the basics on a few of the programs in my Creative Suite. Unfortunately, this book doesn't cover two of the programs that I really wanted to learn, namely Fireworks and Premiere! I don't know why they're not included. Seems kind of weird to leave those two very functional programs out. So if you are wanting to learn anything other than Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Flash, Dreamweaver or Acrobat, look for a different book.

Some people have a real gift for taking the complex and breaking it down into a simpler language for others to understand. That's exactly what Mordy Golding did with this book and I love it!! I bought this book after trying "Adobe Illustrator CS3 WOW" which seemed to assume I already knew how to use the illustrator program and thus left out many relevant details. This book doesn't assume anything and walks you through each program step by step! It has been exhilarating! I feel capable!

Concise, clear and didactic introductory text for Adobe's Creative Suit 3. Recommended for beginners to grasp the basics.

The book was exactly what I needed. It was mailed in a very timely manner and the transaction was very smooth.
