This is the most usefull book on apple scripting indesign I have found. Using the techniques in the book I am able to automate almost all of the redundent tasks and other stuff that was wastign my time. I keep this book next to my desk at all times. I wouldnt be without it!

I found this book to be well written and overflowing with useful information and example scripts for InDesign version 2. As a scripting newbie, I have found it easy to understand and implement the samples in this book, and to extend them to fulfill my scripting needs. As well, it provides very useful general scripting knowledge about the Finder and AppleScript as a whole.
I have reserved one star for the next edition, which will hopefully remedy the ironically poor presentation and binding of the book (Mine is already dog-eared and battered after two weeks! A testament to its indespensibility - I have not let it out of my sight and carry it everywhere with me in my bag.). Hopefully a smart and wealthy publisher will pick up this book - which is without a doubt the best available on the subject. Thanks Shirley!

Very compete yet easy-to-understand --Includes Excellent CD with 100s of Scripts and PDF of book.


Covers advanced InDesign scripts as well as fundementals for beginners. "Book," being spiral-bound and "plain-paper" softcover is not beautiful, but still professional. Written for CS, includes updates for CS2 + CS3.

CD contains many useful scripts not in the book (and a list of them all, which is a nice touch). New scripts for CS3 on CD also.
