Customer Reviews

Excellent Book for Learning

I teach many different computer courses and I have to testify here that this book is great for someone who already uses in design to reference just how to do a specific function or action in InDesign. I am so very pleased with this manual that I will be most likely to get more from this series. The author is right on in this book with a little humor to remind you to take things easy. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to broaden their skills in InDesign. Best Wishes, Derek Diaz

Helpful

This book is very helpful for the novice, and for those well-versed with the computer program.

Great resource book for students and professionals

Having bought this book as a requirement for my Page Layout class, I was surprised to see that I actually used the book. Like the QuickStart book for Quark, it offers invaluable information clearly, and is laid out in a streamlined and clean fashion. I have used InDesign CS2 in the past, but CS3 had new tools and shortcuts. This book defines InDesign CS3 effortlessly which is wonderful for students. I have come back time and again to this book when I get stuck. Whether you're a beginner to Adobe InDesign, an intermediate user, or professional you will definitely find a use for this book.

Recommended Noob Book

With zero experience with layout programs, this book did a very credible job of walking me through and making me not only knowledgable, but competent. A couple of spots in the book I thought could have been better arranged...different order of teaching, but that is really a minor detail. A number of software books just take you through the keyboard strokes without detailed explanations of the tools, their properties, and especially, how those tools relate to actaul production. This book does a great job of giving the complete picture of not only how, but when and why. If you've never used InDesign CS3 this book is for you.

Best All Around Book on ID CS3

Okay, I know I rated Blatner and Kvern's RWIDCS3 book 5 stars, but when you're on deadline and looking for a quick, concise answer on how to do something fast this one's the book to reach for. Frankly, do yourself a huge favor and keep both titles close at hand. They make a powerful duo.
