What Our Customers Are Saying

I've just opened your DVD tonight for the first time (I've been flat out til now) to have a look at it and haven't stopped reading it. This is just simply, a marvellous eBook. I'm sitting here looking at a 24" monitor leaning back in my chair casually reading it. This is so clearly laid out. The fonts are large and easy on the eye to read with the diagrams large and clear also. Your writing style is very conversational which makes me feel as though I'm sitting across a table listening to you in person. The videos too are superb with their clarity and sharpness. Mate, it's quite clear you have put so much time and effort into this, there is no question about value for money. As soon as you have your other two Unleashed DVDs ready for shipping: Advanced techniques and Photo-Paint, count me in. I'll purchase those too. Foster, normally I can't sit too long in front of a PC reading tutorial files because most of them are boring. That's why I always prefer a physical book so I can sit somewhere and comfortably read. But yours is very different and enjoyable. I'm just sitting here entertained by the quality and simplicity of the tutorials. I'm really enjoying this learning process. This is fabulous work, Foster. Your mother would genuinely be proud of you - Great job (and I'm only up to page 66). This eBook is going to make my PC learning quick and efficient. Thanks again for producing such a wonderful product. I would genuinely recommend CorelDRAW X5 to anyone just for this DVD eBook. So many times you buy what you think is good software only to find the tutorials are lame and grossly insufficient or poorly constructed. I'm one of these consumers that will gladly pay extra money any day of the week just so I can learn something properly.

Steve Bolack, Colorblast

CorelDRAW X5 Unleashed: Great! Foster Coburn has captured the essence of Draw X5 and presented it in a multi-media format that is easy to follow, easy to access. CorelDRAW X5 Unleashed is accurate, plus insightful; it answers both the everyday questions of the beginner and includes solutions to more in-depth, experienced-user requirements. Coburn's years as a CorelDRAW user, trainer and author are focused in this latest edition of the Unleashed series to give the user extraordinary value, both in the CorelDRAW X5 Unleashed book and also in the hours of linked videos and samples included in the X5 Unleashed DVD.
