Book Reviews of Real World Adobe InDesign CS4
Book Review: Excellent guide for complicated InDesign work
Summary: 5 Stars
Adobe's InDesign CS4 is far and away the best text and graphics to print software. It is moving Quark off its well-deserved pinnacle in this category for professional use.
The trouble is, there is so much power with the endless well of commands necessary, it is very difficult to use. And, of course, Adobe continues to avoid really good help for its customers. In this case Adobe Press has joined with Peachpit Press for the 827-page Real World InDesign CS4 by Olav Martin Evers and David Blatner. The only failing -- and it is major -- is the total lack of color which, for a work in this subject, is unforgivable at the $55 price -- less with Amazon but still should have color.
Adobe must find some way to re-categorize their huge and growing encyclopedia of commands for all their software. At the very least they should have the same commands for the same effects in their other fine software. The full design suite should function more fully together even though some elements can be read by InDesign, it can be tricky.
This book is late in arriving. CS4 is likely to be renewed as CS5 fairly soon and, with Adobe, you'll be waiting for the update for commands. But, meanwhile, the best quality of this book measured against others for the same purpose, is being able to find the obscure commands necessary for that skill, trick or set of strokes you need for a book, poster, whatever.
And, for that, the Evers.Blatner work can't be beat.
