Title: I only wish I had read the reviews before I bought it
Product review: This book is terrible. It describes procedures that are incorrect for CorelDraw 9. I understand from other reviews (read only after I had struggled to find tools listed in the book but apparently nonexistant in the software)that instructions are based on older versions of CorelDraw. Having only used version 6 I was eager to learn about the new tools and their uses. The author describes reducing nodes by using a button called "auto-reduce" - doesn't exist in Corel 9. Use the "Natural Pen" - doesn't exist either, now called Artistic Mode. I am only 200 pages in but now realize it was a waste of money as the instructions are completely irrelevant for version 9. Please read reviews before dishing out big bucks on outdated computer books. Good ones exist, this just isn't one of them.
