I'm not an experienced Illustrator user. I was looking for a friendly reference book that I could search quickly. For me it is a luxury to see a procedure on paper. For example: I wanted to create a vector file from a raster image that would then be used by a machine to cut out a shape. Details and pitfalls are so easy to miss in a video. I like watching a video and having Ms Steuer's book open. There I can see the steps logically and graphically organized. I don't have to watch the video multiple times to find a option or keystroke I missed. Her book is a thoughtfully researched wealth of information all easy to find locate and follow.
This book just keeps getting better with each edition! Besides being beautiful and providing a wealth of useful information (step-by-step techniques and tips), the book has such a nice, calm, well-organized feel. The purple CC markers are a wonderful idea for alerting the reader to new, Creative Cloud content. And the author promises to post info about Creative Cloud updates through wowartist.com - a wonderful way for readers to keep up with the latest changes.
