How to use this book

The beauty of a book like this lies in its simplicity: Start reading anywhere, stop reading when you're finished. Remember, the first chapter is really aimed more at inexperienced users (but it's okay for you to read that one too, even if you feel pretty comfortable with Illustrator you never know what you might have missed).

If you really want to take best advantage of this book, we would recommend using it with at least three of the following: candlelight, hot tub, wine, favorite companion, barbershop quartet music. Can you imagine anything more romantic? Reading aloud some Illustrator tips by candle- light to your loved one, to the a capella strains of "Heart of My Heart"…
