CorelDRAW 8 Secrets? [With Contains Examples from the Book, Clip Art, Demos..]

This is a well laid out reference and tutorial manual with easy to understand and find information. Unlike many of the other books on CorelDraw, this one covers ALL the applications in the suite, in good to excellent depth. The artwork examples presented may be mediocre, but they are only used for clear understanding of the methods; this is an instruction manual, not a special effects how to manual like some of the other books available. I totaly disagree with the other two reviews. This book is well laid out, has excellent instructions and clear examples. Organizing things by the applications in the suite, and covering all the applications, makes it easy to find information when needed. An additional book containing excellent artwork, that demonstrates how those effects were achieved is a good reference to have, but is NOT what this book was meant to do, so that is a poor complaint from the other reviewer as well. If you have the original manuals, you might just opt for only an effects example book like that, but for an excellent aftermarket manual, this covers CorelDraw in excellent fashion.
