Which Adobe Illustrator tutorial book should I buy?

Question

I have to learn how to use Adobe Illustrator and I want to buy a tutorial book, but all the books on amazon have the same ratings. The Adobe Illustrator Classroom in a Book and the Wow! book are what I am looking at. Does anyone have any other or better suggestions? Or know which of those two books is better?

Answer 1

Title: Adobe Illustrator CS2 Classroom in a Book

The book is written by the team who develop illustrator.

Answer 2

Not sure which ones better but I'd buy this one first: Adobe Illustrator Classroom in a Book. I have not used it but I have used Photoshop Classroom in a Book and I like it.

Answer 3

It is better learning by books, but only these books that offer practices. Youtube videos is good too but only well known good channels that made by professionals, and it is usually more useful than books because it gives you what you need to know and what you'll need to use most of the time. The books you learned from and read, should become to you now as a reference to get back to when you need, and you should practice using these software's every time you have a chance, for example if you took a screen shot of your desktop why not pasting it in Photoshop instead MS Paint? You should do that even if the mission was simple. JUST USE THE SOFTWARE, and if you didn't know how to do something, Google it you'll fine lots of articles, tutorials and videos for it.
