Reader Reviews
As someone new to InDesign, but familiar with older versions of PageMaker, this book served as a great guide to the software. Not only does it cover realistic (real-world) tutorial projects, but it spends considerable time filling in the reasoning for certain design decisions or indicates alternate methods whenever possible. Most importantly, though, this book helped me immensely in providing a background to general back-end issues and the entire printing process. This is an area that I have no familiarity with, and the introductory material provided within this book was a great addition. This material could have easily been left out, but I am very thankful to see it. My only criticisms are: 1) lack of CD-ROM -- nowadays, these sort of project texts often come with CDs or at least a publisher-supplied donwload website. It's omission is too bad, but liveable considering the quality of the text in general. 2) repetition of material -- often, certain text is repeated several times, but this is probably due to way the book is organized. Even though I have InDesign CS, I am still happy to have purchased this text for all that is has provided (in background). For someone with more backend / 3rd-party printing experience, the book may have too much background material for their liking.
