Title: Poor
Review: Simply put it - this book is about as poor and rigid as CorelDRAW 8 as a software. Too hard? Well, if compared with Painter 5 or Adobe Photoshop 5 then you know what I am talking about. One needs to spend hours to develop an image that take few mouse clicks with Painter. CorelDRAW has powerfull drawing program and integrates a lot of other things but none of them is equal to specialty software. The book shows that clearly - very technical and rigid introduction in subject with no imagination and rather poor graphics. If this is what experts can do in DRAW, what is to be expected from a beginner??? If I need an index, I would use program's index files anyway! However there is more than that - check Hunt's book. Don't waste money on this book unless you really need to. There are no too many good books about DRAW around, but this one is certainly not among them.
