"Awful"
The search engine is awful. You must restart between disks. The clip art for the most part is not useable (OK I only checked the weddings / church). The people in the wedding clip art is not something I would send out or use. There is no holiday clip art that I could find. The church clip art is so limited that I can't imagine ever using it. I'm used to doing quality professional material and this will NOT help me. Glad they have a money back guarantee (at least that's something they have that is good that others don't)

"No keywords or search index"
This clip art collection is a big disappointment. The quality of the vector graphics is quite low, but a bigger problem is the search engine. They include a tool called Portfolio Browser, but it does not offer any keywords or text search. Instead, you must load one "portfolio" at a time by navigating to a folder on the CD. This is a very inefficient way to sort through 30,000 images, since each folder may contain only 100 or so pictures.

You can copy the CDs to a hard drive (manually), but when you open the portfolio folders it demands that you insert the CD to load the image. With such a large number of CDs, this too is unwieldy.

So to summarize, this is a collection of 30,000 low-quality images without a usable search or browsing capability. I do not envision myself ever using this.

"Mediocre"
Hard to sort through the clip art.
Not user friendly.
Artwork is disappointing and some are grainy.
You get what you pay for.

"Know before you buy!"
I purchased this product because the information provided said the images on the CD were photoshop compatable. That's only partly true. Not being a professional graphics arts person I didn't realize Photoshop won't read vector files. You have to put them through Illustrator or Freehand before you can use them directly in photoshop.

We are professional photographers and provide scrapbooks as one of our products. The clip art vectors were for that and now I'm going to have to convert them before I can use them. An extra step that is costly in time.

Nova needs to alter their language on their information for the novice user (like myself) that vector graphics require conversion in some software applications. At least I would have checked my program first.

"Best Clip Art Ever??"
I bought this after reading some of the glowing reviews. After actually looking at the clip art and photos at home, I don't understand why people rave about this collection. The quality of the free clip art and photos at the Microsoft Office Online web site are much better. Many of the photos look like they were taken by amatuer photographers, some of whom were not very good. Some of my own photos look better than these! Alright, there are some nice ones in there, but you really have to hunt for them.

I was lucky enough to buy this when there was a rebate, so it was pretty cheap, otherwise I'd return it. The quality of the photos and clip art was just too disappointing. There's quantity here, but not quality.
