Summary: Adobe Classroom Series
Comment: I have used the Classroom in a Book to learn Photoshop in the past. I really enjoy these lessons. I haven't started using the Creative Suite lessons yet but after browsing through the book expect the lesson to be fun to learn.

Summary: For Experienced Users Only
Comment: As a new user of this or ANY such program, I find that this book does not cover the basics. It was used in courses that I took to learn desktop publishing because of job requirements. It's pretty much monkey see, monkey do if you have no experience with this program. You don't learn the reasons why you're following the steps or how to decide which procedures apply when you're working on your own vice working with the lessons provided. I'm looking for a book that gives you a foundation for thinking things through, and this is definitely not it.

Summary: I Am A Bit Disappointed
Comment: Since I have purchased other Adobe Classrooms in a Book, I mistakenly believed that this book would contain a complete "Classroom in a Book" section for each application in Adobe CS2. I was wrong. In fact, the entire book is approximately the same size as the Classroom in a Book that was published for Pagemaker 7 alone. Let me restate that: CS2 contains several MAJOR applications, yet the Classroom in a Book for the entire suite is as thin as one published earlier for a single Adobe application!
To make things worse, I did not purchase the earlier Creative Suite software, but owned older versions of some of the applications. Therefore, this book did not come close to addressing my need for learning to use this brand new software suite.
Unless you're already familiar with the first Adobe Creative Suite, I suggest you find another book to purchase for comprehensive coverage of CS2.
