Customer Reviews

Easy to get on with, novice to just intermediate.

One of the those books that is nice for begineers but a little annoying for those with computer experience. On the whole it was good (and the humour was excellent) but it is designed as a book for beginners. Having said that, there was enough in it for myself (experience in computers but new to Corel 8) to buy it; and it at least touched on Corel 3D which was more than the official guide seemed to. If you are a beginner, get it; intemediate well maybe, and if you are already using Corel products then I wouldn't bother. I would like to see a CorelDraw 8 for Thickies which would cover the intemediate to advance topics. Come on guys, the market's out there!

Finally found the kind of help that I required.

Enjoyed attending the 'chat' that CorelDraw sponsors. They recommended good books, however, none were expressely for CorelDraw 8, which is the new. Even though the review here is not favorable for DorelDraw 8 for Dummies, I bought it. It is great! The book explains so patiently all the difficult to understand tools that must be used. I have been struggling until now. I will return here to write a full review in a few weeks. Meanwhile, those who are new to CorelDraw and own CorelDraw 8 will find the book delightfully helpful.
