2.0 out of 5 stars Not really for Dummies, 7 Mar 2005
By Arnout Jacobs (Singapore) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Other than its title suggests, this book will not be of much help if you are a newcomer to Adobe's creative suite. It falls into the typical trap of giving a product, rather than a user-based perspective.
Also, the guide really does not give you more information than is already available from Creative Suite's help function, which is quite helpful with its tutorials and search facilities.
It's not the first time the Dummies series does not live up to its name. As a brand, it is eroding its value rapidly.

1.0 out of 5 stars A disappointing purchase, 4 Aug 2005
When I made the decision to buy this book, I ignored other reviewers' comments but trusted the book's self-promotional materials, in particular the authors' background and the For Dummies brand. I turned out to be completly wrong.

I read one of the "six minibooks", Adobe InDesign, and found that it is neither a comprehensive reference book (it only mechnically describes a small number of features of a hugely powerful software product), nor a user's guide (it does not address any issues a user faces when producing a publication).

As such, having read the InDesign minibook, I still have no clue as to how to produce a professional publication, except doing some isolated tasks, such as doing a drawing, inputting text into a text frame, and opening and saving a document, which I believe I can do without actually buying this book.

I assume that the other five minibooks are equally disappointing.
