Product Description
Mastering InDesign for Print Design and Production shows how experienced professionals with deadlines and billable hours use InDesign efficiently and effectively. Through the case studies and interviews, readers will find inspired to look beyond the over-emphasized basic features and into the depths of InDesign’s utility for real-world print design. Most InDesign books are written for beginners, and experienced users are frustrated by them. When you already know how to make, fill, and thread a text box, the entire first half of most InDesign books is useless. But this one doesn’t dwell on the basics. Mastering InDesign for Print Design and Production fulfills the promise of the Mastering series, to provide real-world skills to professionals and students. Like all Mastering books, this one includes: A “by pros for pros” approach: The author is an active professional working in the field of graphic arts, layout, and design, writing for prof… More >>

I bought this book thinking i would learn more about InDesign then i knew. Although i feel it has brought some knowledge to the table, i do NOT feel this book is worth the review of stars others have given and the price. The maker of the book, i give him two thumbs up if he really designed this whole book in InDesign, BUT, he should have used spell check!!! For a book that is telling you that it will help you master InDesign, he has not and this is the worst representation of a typesetter. I feel if someone is telling me i would master something he would of atleast spell checked it. Thats why im giving this book a two. There is sooooooooo much grammer errors, type spelling, and run-ons going to left field that if i didnt know what i was doing, i would throw this book away!!!!! So for any of you that know how spelling, grammer and punctuation is a must for any typsetter, the author gives a bad name to us. Though, this book can be a great intro or a way to freshen your skills, but i would NOT recommend this book for anyone that hasn’t touched InDesign. It does not have any hands-on or come with a CD in lamens terms. Its for a moderate typesetter. Hope that helps you.

It was such a joy to actually find a software book that doesn’t start at the beginning. This book is for users of InDesign with some experience under their belts. It is also for those who are concerned about getting it right. I have found it very useful. It doesn’t get my 5 star rating because I think it could use a few more examples and wanted a little more on master pages and books. But it is a great book and well worth the money.

This book provides more than instruction on how to use InDesign CS3. It gives many excellent publishing and layout tips, too. It was appropriate for my intermediate skill level on Id CS3.

I am a newly-minted book designer and Mastering InDesign CS3 has become an essential resource for me as I learn the tricks of my trade. Because the author writes in such an an accessible yet streamlined style, I find myself looking forward to what he has to say about subjects such as text variables, tables and anchored objects. These are functions that I had looked through online resources in vain for detailed and comprehensible guidance on how to use. Even though the book is written for CS3, this CS4 user has gotten a lot out of it, since the upgrade wasn’t a dramatic departure, anyway. I’m hoping for a CS5 version of this book when the time comes.
