Hi Monika,
My apologies for such a late reply, life has a way of showing up in very interesting ways ...
Thank you for your reply and suggestion, much appreciated. I didn't find the title "Adobe Illustrator 10, Classroom in a Book" in either AdobePress.com or Peachpit.com, the title is to old and they no longer carry it, which is why I posted the question here in hopes of someone still having a copy of the CD and perhaps be willing to share the exercise files.
I guess I may have no other recourse but to try ebay and the like, as you suggested.
Thank You
