Customer Reviews

Great way to learn Quark quickly.

I found this book to be extremely helpful. The book consists in short explanations of Quark's capabilities followed by tutorials every second or third page. Except for a very few typos, the text is clearly written and quickly absorbed. I considered other books on Quark and was glad I went with this one, in spite of its hefty price. I was able to go through every major feature of Quark in four days with this book as my guide. This did not mean that I was fluent in four days, but I was able to continue to build on this book's foundation and eventually become fluent in Quark.

I Found It Very Helpful

As a small independent, I was already familiar with Photoshop and layering content, so I delved into QuarkXpress by experimentation. Scratching my head in wonderment caused me to buy this book (as a paperback) and it's been a wonderful helpmate. It has a great index for reference and the accompaning CD-Rom in the back of the book guided me through tutorial exercises which made understanding the possibilities of QuarkXpress easier. I certainly didn't see the necessity of buying a whole library to explain one software program but I'm glad I chose this book. It's laid out well, simple to follow, has sufficient explanations of procedures and is written in everyday language. Two thumbs up.

Great Book

While the Real World QuarkXPress book is very large and thourough, it only contains ONE tutorial (albiet a very helpful one) Using QuarkXPress really helped me by teaching through lessons and having all the resource files on the cd-rom (Warning: I have a PC and many of the eps files I had to open in Illustrator then resave). I will use Real World QuarkXpress as a refrence book, but the Using Quark is the best book (that i've seen) on the market. I wish all program books were this fun and helpful. Buy both the books I mentioned if you want to learn this program. Or don't, I don't care.
