I would agree with some of the other reviews here. This is not a beginners book. It assumes at least an intermediate level of understanding of Photshop, Illustrator, Pagemill, to execute some of the excercises.
To the books credit however, it is very nicely laid out -easy to read -in fact images guide you more than the text.
