I bought this book about a months ago and have just finished going through it a few days ago. So is it worth it?...depends on what u want to know. I am proficient in photoshop and know indesign to an extent, so certain tools, such as pen, brush, mask etc were easy to get to grips with. The book covers approx 50% of the programs features which annoyed me a bit. If u've used illustrator before, then i wouldn't recommend this book, it does go through new features such as live color etc, but i think u can easily read up about that on the net. I'm much more familiar with the tools and its quite a genius program once u get ur hear around it. My advice would be to get this book if ur a complete newby, even if ur a photoshop genius like me, the integration is amazing...but do also buy another book, maybe 100 tips or wow...which will be out in a few months, to really get the tools working for u...then start looking at online tutorials.
Other than that, the tutorials are fun, the files on the CD are great, has some good sections on color management and exporting...oh and illustrator and flash are much more integrated then u think...i could go on!
