Easy to follow, even advanced users will pick up useful tips

I find the book to be informative & useful, we have several different levels of Corel 8 users in our home/office, and the instructions are clear enough for beginners to use without insulting the ability of the more advanced user. The book really builds up the fact that there are "samples" in the book and on the accompanying CD, however I was disapointed in the samples & the CD, which is really full of dead end demos & a couple of photos. As a more advanced user, I prefer: Coreldraw 8 : The Official Guide by Foster D. Coburn, Foster R., III Coburn, Peter A. McCormick, a better book & extras thru the website...like tutorials & seminars taught by the authors. I attended their seminar recently & I have read both books, like the later better...but, if you are fairly new to Corel 8, then I personally believe that The CorelDraw 8 Bible is easier to work thru...I'd compare it to taking classes in school, clear format & easy to understand.

Very helpful and easy to read

The Coreldraw8 Bible was extremely helpful in guiding this first time user through the steps to use Coreldraw 8. The writing was easy to read, the steps clearly stated and illustrated, and many helpful short cuts were included. The index was extremely well arranged, which to me is a an extremely important tool with reference such as this. CorelDraw 8 Bible made using Corel MUCH easier.
