Illustrator CS Most Wanted [PDF ebook] 
Techniques and Effects

Adobe Illustrator is the professional illustrator’s tool of choice for creating and publishing vector graphics in print or online. It’s the most comprehensive 2D vector graphics drawing package and, with the latest CS release, incorporates powerful new 3D drawing tools and blending effects. Closer integration of Adobe’s Creative Suite products (Photoshop CS, Illustrator CS, In Design CS, and Acrobat Professional) means that Illustrator is now more accessible to new users who are already familiar with the Adobe interface and helps existing pro users to become more creative and efficient.
