Adobe Illustrator CS4 WOW is way beyond the basics.  It is eye candy for any designer or vector illustrator regardless if they are a beginner or advance user. It is packed full of tips and techniques including step-by-step instructions that will have you mastering skills in lightning speeds!

Particularly interesting, is Chapter 2, "Zen of Illustrator" the instructions on the "finger dance".  I agree, once an illustrator masters this technique ... every skill, shortcut and exercise will be easier and faster from that point forward.  (This skill is especially important for someone using A.I to produce vector files in a fast-past, deadline-orientated work environment.)

I've been using Adobe Illustrator for about ten years. When I'm designing a logo, Illustrator is my application of choice. For my money, if you can't build a logo that can be blown up as big a a billboard without jagged edges, you ain't got squat. Flexibility is the bottom line and only a vector graphic affords that flexibility.

Adobe Illustrator CS Idea Kit is a small book with 18 bite-sized projects designed to feed your imagination and get you quickly up-to-speed with Illustrator. It isn’t a definitive reference, but its restrained size and direct delivery style make it easier to digest than many larger publications. Which also means the ideas can be put into use more quickly. First time authors Jerome Holder & Barbara Mulligan have many years of commercial art experience under their collective belts and have done a good job of distilling that knowledge.
