I was about to take a course on Adobe Creative Suites and the book they wanted me to buy was terribly expensive. Amazone.com to the rescue! I was able to buy the exact book - used - and it was in very good shape and I saved a bundle. Thanks and I'll be back!

3.0 out of 5 stars Adobe CS-4 'Classroom in a Book' Review
Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2009
Verified Purchase
Adobe is a very successful software developer who has released an official user aid for it's CS-4 version of Creative Suite software. The book is very well written, given that it appears to endorse a 'work in progress' movie as you read through it. It contains the basics on most of the CS4 suites and also includes tips and pointers on creating your own content. It is Adobe's flagship book for CS-4 and is definitely recommended if you own any of the student versions of any of the suites. (Note: Contains high resolution graphics, 321 pages and a online user CD.)

The book arrived in good condition and fairly quickly even with regular mail. I prefer not to pay for express shipping and have found the media mail to sometimes take quite a long time. In my experience some shippers have even used the USPS media mail method as an excuse for a really long wait. This book was shipped in a timely manner and I appreciate that.

1.0 out of 5 stars Colossal Waste of Paper and My Money
Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2010
"Classroom in a Book"? Hardly. I am intimately familiar with Photoshop CS3, and recently upgraded from it to the entire CS4 Design Premium. I bought this book with the expectation that it would be a "classroom" for me to learn the ropes of the other programs in the package that I have no familiarity with. It's fine if you're already comfortable with all the programs in CS3 and are just upgrading, but it is NOT for beginners for any of these programs. The lessons included for Photoshop were interesting for me, but I am already an advanced Photoshop user. Everything else in this book was absolutely useless to me because it assumes your familiarity with the software. This is honestly something that should be included when you buy the software package, not a book they charge you $60 for and market as something that it isn't. I'm glad that Adobe is improving their products and making them work well together, but I did not fork over my hard earned cash to get what is essentially a 300 page advertisement. I bought the software before I bought the book, I didn't need to read this book to be convinced of the software's prowess.

I love Adobe's products, but we all paid good money for the Design Premium package ($1800). The least they could do is not rip us off on a mostly useless "training workbook" that is not what we are looking for.

This book is in my opinion nothing more than a series of Adobe promotional materials.
I have read more than half of this book and while the "gee it can do that factor" is there
it never seemed to show the "how to do it".
I think we all bought this "Classroom" book for "How To.." not for a features list.
This book is useless, watch the AdobeTV video tutorials instead.
Burn this book for it's heat value otherwise it is useless.

3.0 out of 5 stars Creative Suite tutorial for somewhat advanced designers
Reviewed in the United States on June 14, 2009
Verified Purchase
when you've just started with CS 4 and you're thinking of using this as THE manual, than it's a big dissapointment. On the otherhand, when you're an advanced CS4 designer, than it's real handy.
I guess it's still better to buy all the Classroom books apart. It's not a bad book, but you first have to know the basics of CS 4.

Good item, as described. Well packed and punctual arrival. It has an introduction to each program, but I think I will also need something more in depth for Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign.
