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
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good book, April 16, 2008
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 Good beginner book, April 19, 2009
There certainly wasn't anything wrong with this book. Many of the 100 techniques covered the basics which I already knew. I still use it to refresh my memory. Great book for the novice.

1.0 out of 5 stars Only for Beginners
This book is good if you've never used a computer before. But if you've used one at all, you will be bored with this book. Way too many simple, commonly known tips for me.
