shrug-l: Books - re: GIS/Adobe Illustrator combination?

[Nonie Castro]

On the same subject - can any of you suggest some resources to help me? 

I've been doing a search for books using search terms like:
["Adobe Illustrator" and GIS], ["Adobe Illustrator" and cartography],
["Adobe Illustrator" and maps]. 
I haven't had TOO much luck. 

I was able to find these interesting materials: 
http://gis2.esri.com/library/userconf/proc05/papers/pap1101.pdf
http://ngmdb.usgs.gov/Info/dmt/docs/Rupp04b.pdf

What I guess I am looking for is some book (or website, whatever) where
I can learn how to 
manipulate maps using Adobe Illustrator, or (to put it another way) I
have a lot of Illustrator 
manuals and how-to books, but they all apply to graphics in general. I'd
like to know if there 
are any resources for Illustrator that deal with mapping specifically. 

Thanks!!!

Subject: shrug-l: Exporting ArcMap document for use in Adobe Illustrator

Hello all - I'm requesting your opinions here. 

We have a need to manipulate our maps graphically beyond what ArcMap can
do. 
(Or - what it can do - software that is specifically for graphics can do
better/faster/more efficiently)

Do  any of the rest of you use something besides an ESRI product to
manipulate your maps? 
If so - what? 

If you have a graphics program - do you then use any other software,
like the Avenza products - as a "bridge" between the two? 

Thank you,
