From the Author

This book is for anyone who self-publishes pages.
This absorbing book promotes design as a system for managing change, as much as making pages. It is totally post-modern, drawing from a broad range of examples. It has taken me twenty years to research and two years to write, illustrate and layout. Get one now as its selling fast.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exceptionally useful, 12 Oct 1999
By A Customer
I found this book to be most thought-provoking. The presentation (it is laid out according to the Golden Section) is visually very striking, and is a real challenge to the centuries-old 'norm'. In addition, the book offers excellent insights into what works and what doesn't, combining real DTP skill with an artistic eye. It is also unusually entertaining - if you couldn't compose a haiku before reading this then you will certainly be able to afterwards! It has certainly prompted me to be more experimental with my own projects, and I am sure this will remain an essential sourcebook for many years.

3.0 out of 5 stars Socks off to the master., 10 Aug 1999
By A Customer
I'm not sure about mastering desktop publishing, but for those like myself who have only just taken their sock off to dip a toe in the ocean of DTP, it's a good start. The project assignments at the end of every chapter followed a distinct and logical structure, and the question lists dotted throughout were very helpful and thought-provoking. The wide-ranging bibilog was also useful as a resource. My only real criticism is the use of the Golden Section for the text layout - it rather interfered with eye movement over the page, and fellow Tube travellers were even more curious than usual, having been attracted by the odd patterns of text! Also colour for at least some of the examples would have been more appropriate than B&W throughout. Overall though, a good investment for the average DTP user.
