This review is from: Real World Adobe InDesign CS4 (Paperback)
David Blatner and Olav Martin Kvern are two of the top InDesign educators and they know the software inside out and backwards. This book stays close at hand whenever I'm in an ID project. It has bailed me out many a time when I've been pounding my head against some issue where things aren't coming out as expected or I'm unsure of a way to accomplish what I need to get done. It's not a tutorial book with step by step projects, but it covers most everything you'll need to know in detail. Beginners might find it isn't basic enough to be the sole learning tool, but whatever level you're at, Real World InDesign CS4 is an essential reference.

I bought this book for my wife who was beginning to use InDesign for work. All I hear is "Wow! This book is amazing" about five or six times a day. All the information you need is in here - very well structured and easy to find. It seems to anticipate the most common problems that users get stuck on too. If you are looking for an easy-to-use reference-while-you-work InDesign manual, then look no further.

If you have any plans to use InDesign CS4, get this book!The authors are masters of the subject. They're steeped in the programming. They bring longtime experience with the software and its earlier iterations, so they understand its many strengths and occasional limitations. It helps that they're also skilled writers. They use the software in the production of their own books. Therefore they have an unerring sense of the perspective of the actual user. This is a tremendous benefit. The index, which is vital to users of this kind of book, reflects a powerful user-focus. Fine book. Highly recommended. |
