5.0 out of 5 stars Very good book, April 16, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Adobe InDesign CS3 How-Tos: 100 Essential Techniques (Paperback)
This book is an excellent choice for anyone - beginner to advanced users of InDesign. I started using InDesign when the first CS came out and I learned plenty from this book. Excellent choice for the price.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nothing you can't get from a Deke book, December 28, 2007
By 
Bob "Mr. Hi-Fi Stereo" (Littleton, CO United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Adobe InDesign CS3 How-Tos: 100 Essential Techniques (Paperback)
The book is okay. However, you can get the same information from pretty much any basic Indesign primer. I'm a fan of the Deke books, and I would not recommend this book as a primer.

The nice thing about this book, though, is how it indexes each technique. It makes a handy reference manual. For that function, it's just fine.

If you need an instruction manual, buy one. If you need a reference manual, buy this.
