Bought this book as I needed a reference guide. Learning Indesign whilst working on it meant I needed something which provided clear and illustrated instructions - this does the job perfectly! Would recommend it to anybody who is starting out on Indesign or who needs to be reminded of how to do things.

Having used Pagemaker for a school magazine and the early versions of InDesign I needed to get up to speed with CS5.5. I had a some idea of what I wanted to do but needed 'how to do it'. I'm reasonably familiar with Photoshop and Illustrator and found I kept returning to these Peachpit Quickstart guides in preference to others, so I chose this one. It answered all my questions in a clear manner. The actual Indesign program is mainly black lettering on a pale background so this book manages very well without the gimmick of colour. Importantly the diagrams are clear and the whole is well laid out. I find it excellent value.

Excellent reference book
30 April 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
As a professional InDesign trainer, I used 75 copies of this book - purchased from Amazon - during my training seminars this month.
The black and white format allows adult learners to effectively make notes and mark up important items with a red pen.
With a background in graphic design, I appreciate the clean 2 column pages, large and plentiful screen captures and indented step by step instructions. Adequate white space avoids overwhelming visual clutter typical of other books.
A consistent thread of lighthearted reference to the Wizard of Oz in graphic examples keeps you smiling while learning the software.
Sandee Cohen is an expert in InDesign, graphic design, technical writing and teaching this material - a winning combination.

Great Reference Book

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I use In-Design and have found this to be a great quick reference guide to help when you have a question. It is also great to review before you purchase In-Deisgn so you know what it can do. I recommend this to anyone.

Extremely satisfied User
28 Nov 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
The author did a superb job of focusing her information in an orderly manner, and then presenting it using two techniques which make it virtually impossible to not understand the process. First, on one half of the page she gives you the Commands and Actions required; Second she shows you on the second half of the page images of what you should select. I find that this book is clear, precise, and extremely valuable, certainly for the new user of InDesign. Finally, she provides a detailed, carefully presented Index so you can find solutions to the problems you wish to solve. I recommend this book without reservations, and find the price very reasonable InDesign CS5 for Macintosh and Windows: Visual QuickStart Guide (Visual Quickstart Guides)
