This review is from: Desktop Publishing: 10-Hour Series (with Data CD-ROM) (Paperback)

I have been teaching desktop publishing for six years, and I am ALWAYS looking for a text or supporting text--if you have looked you will know that they are few and far between. This book was a great disappointment. There isn't much information on desktop publishing in the text, and the CD is a bunch of files that make no sense and appear to be haphazardly thrown together that are of no help of all. If you want to learn about desktop publishing, look for another book!
