Where was this book when I was starting out? This is THE INDISPENSIBLE BOOK for everyone who has bought a copy of Corel Draw or Illustrator or (gad) Publisher and now thinks they are full fledged “desktop publishers.” THIS BOOK IS CRAMMED FULL OF KNOWLEDGE that will separate you from the clueless. Buy it. Read it. Memorize it. Then go to your service bureau and learn some more!!

I had to purchase this book for a class I am attending. It did its trick. Good book so far.

Yet another book from Adobe Publishing, toting their own horn. (it should be no surprise that any reference made to a DTP program is made to PageMaker, and not Quark), but that’s just Adobe propaganda, easily ignored. Informative, yes, but I think somone forgot to proofread the thing.

If it were a ‘class room in a book’ that’s one thing, but being a ‘print publishing guide’, Adobe shouldn’t so readily dismiss True Type fonts in preference for PostScript Fonts, Quark for Pagemaker…etc. I know it’s an Adobe guide, but com’on, I expected them to give out a fairer treatment than that.
