Reader Reviews
I've been doing graphic design for over 15 years, and have previously layed out 2 books (photo/illustration intensive ones) and had 2 of my own book designed by traditional publishers. I was never perfectly happy with either result. When it came time to design my latest novel, I was determined to do it myself and also do it well. Pete Masterson's book provided a road-map towards that goal. I hadn't done book design in almost 5 years and the software had changed considerably, but Masterson's step-by-step InDesign tutorial let me hit the ground sprinting. He showed what to do, and more importantly, what absolutely must be avoided, in order to achieve a professional level layout. Very much recommended to anyone even considering doing their own layout (doing your own design, IMHO, requires some additional skills, which Masterson also points out during several stages of the process).
