Another book that I will probably buy for myself, I've been renewing this from the library for a couple of months now.

The content is a good mix of inspiration and tutorials. I personally enjoyed almost all of the different examples of work, finding something useful to gain from each illustration.

The tutorials are varying quality, due to having been written by different people. I think it also helps if you at least know the basics of Adobe Illustrator to understand the tutorials, the tutorials are more to highlight how a particular artist achieves their work, rather than holding your hand through every step.
