My definitive reference for all things InDesign, By Rufus Deuchler (Florence, Italy) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Real World Adobe InDesign CS5 (Paperback)
As a graphic designer, I did not always have time to learn the ins and outs of InDesign. Too much time spent producing, too little spent learning; I am sure that many designers out there are familiar with that. In front of me are Blatner's and Kvern's volumes for InDesign CS2, CS3, CS4, and now CS5. What is so great about Real World InDesign CS5 is that it serves as a quick reference for whenever you are blocked with any specific feature.Also, a great deal of learning the application comes from just browsing the book, randomly turning pages, and being surprised by old and new features, or tips and tricks. The addition of Bob Bringhurst (lead writer for InDesign and InCopy at Adobe) to the team of authors, brings a fresh new voice. David mentions in the introduction that if it weren't for Bob, the book may not have been written. I hope that there will be many more with that new line-up of authors. Notice how I never once mentioned that you should read the book cover to... Read more

THE reference guide for ID CS5,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Real World Adobe InDesign CS5 (Paperback)
I am a yearbook adviser at a public high school and we create a 500+ page book (plus a number of other publications) each year. While I have at my disposal any number of online programs from my publisher, I prefer to run the course using InDesign without employing online or publisher plug-in "cheats." My goal is to have my students proficient in InDesign should they decide to pursue a career in publishing or graphic design.This book is THE go-to reference on our shelf. In our classroom, the editors refer to it as the bible (as in, "Mr. Gone, can I see the bible, or can you lookup how to pull a 4X6 photo grid for me?"). My usual instructions to my students at the beginning of the year are "if you can imagine it, we can build it." This book makes that possible. InDesign is such a powerful tool and someone like a simple high school yearbook adviser cannot even begin to scratch the surface of its uses. However, for tapping into the utmost in creativity and (more... Read more

Still the best book around, By
This review is from: Real World Adobe InDesign CS5 (Paperback)
This is now my second attempt to review this book. I wrote a previous review last week. It was up for a nano-second and then disappeared. Who knows why? Anyway, this book is The Bible of InDesign and also happens to be a fun read (which says a lot for a 900 page computer book). The authors are wonderful writers and there's much to learn. So don't delay. Dive in. You won't be disappointed.
