Reader Reviews
I dislike giving any book a negative review but this book is really misleading in subject matter. It should be titled along the lines of: How to use InDesign where Photoshop will do the job as well if not better. The vast bulk of the book is taken up with producing artefacts (buttons, icons, text, etc) that are much more commonly fabricated in Photoshop. In the Introduction the author states that he has "always been a Photoshop guy". Ok I can live with that, but then he adds further down that "the book does not contain any page-size projects such as sample brochures or mock advertisements". Sorry, I can't live with this. I bought the book because I assumed that it would help me do layout with text and artwork for just these kind of jobs. If your needs are similar to mine (learning InDesign rather than QuarkXpress), this is almost certainly not the book of first choice.
