I took a course in InDesign, but it did not teach me what I needed to know for my particular application (book layout). I've been looking for books on InDesign that would provide the tutorials that would benefit me the most, and although the other books in my Adobe library are helpful, Adobe InDesign Revealed gave me exactly what I needed and more. If you need or want to learn InDesign, this is the book you need. Started your document in MS Word? No problem - just drag it to your InDesign storyboard; multiple Word documents ? Drag them all; rearrange the order if you need to, once, twice and more. An amazing book for an amazing application!

I'm currently using this textbook for a class on using the Adobe InDesign software. Its a hands-on/step-by-step approach to completing projects focusing mostly on "doing it" as a learning tool instead of just reading about how to do it. I recommend it for a self-guided course that can be used with or without an instructor.

This is the best workbook on Indesign CS3. I went through 3 other books. This is the best. Neatly laid out. Simple steps given. Perfect if you know nothing about Indesign. This is worth the money, even though it is a high price book. After going through this, you will not be groping in the dark with Indesign.
