Book Reviews of Real World Adobe InDesign CS3
Book Review: love this book
Summary: 5 Stars
mr.kvern has been writing great references for desktop publishing software for over a decade (i started with his Realworld Freehand 8 which is a better guide to the intricacies of freehand than many Freehand 9, 10 and MX books). mr.blatner is also a skilled technical writer (see his invaluable Realworld Scanning and Halftones); together they are unmatched.
i used quark as a magazine editor (at Mondo 2000), hated quark and swore to never use it again. i used Macromedia Freehand for my layout and design needs for periodicals and books after that (1997-2007) and became highly proficient with it. meanwhile, Pagemaker became InDesign, and kept getting better and better. finally in 2008, for a 3-400 page book, i became convinced of the need for InDesign, and got it.
InDesign has features 5 layers deep. i first got Deke McClelland's book, with DVD video tutorials, in order to get an overview. It was helpful in showing me, rapidly, many features i would have taken months to uncover. cool. but deke mcclelland, bless him, is like a spider monkey on crack: his voice and mannerism in the video is stressful just to listen to. the guy needs some good opiates, or at least a little loving THC. anyway, the book, InDesign CS4 One-on-One, does not balance the practical and the metaconceptual well enough for me. the exercises are directive but do not tell why we are doing what we are doing (just do this, then that, then this, and see, we have a cake!); i need more integration.
i got kvern and blatner's book, and it is the one i use easily and joyfully to plumb the depths of InDesign. it sits on my desk. and because of their knowledge (and wry humor), i enjoy it every time i open it.
get it, and discover this wonderful software and all it can do.
