Hey Vivian, wonderful book! I just looked through the previews and it appears to a thorough reference for AI and pattern design. My question: I am a PC user and there seems to be two answers as to whether I can download via iTunes and view on PC, is this an option or is it Apple only? Thanks.

Thank you Sharon... the only way to download the book at this time is to have an iPad... the book has videos and interactive lessons that can only be viewed on an iPad... I know this has limitations; however, it allows for a much more dynamic book... Vivian
