New user.  Prefer to have a manual/PDF to download and print/read instead of online videos.  We purchased Adobe Illustrator and run Windows.  Not even sure what or where to even start.  Any feedback appreciated.

I was thinking of writing some "Unofficial Manuals" for Adobe CC products. Do you think there's a market for such books? What would you like to see in them?

Maybe just do some research on Amazon? Afterwards you might ask some more specific questions.

I always suggest getting The Adobe "Classroom in a Book" series.

1. They are inexpensive

2. Each basic tool is covered with a chapter lesson plan to work through

3. I've been at this for over 30 years and still have updated versions of these books on my shelves.
