A wealth of information,
By Andreas Pfeiffer (France/USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Handbook of Digital Publishing Two Volume Set (Paperback)
Michael Kleper's books are an incredibly complete and competent source of information covering an amazingly broad area. His insights into an industry he has watched from the beginning should be useful for everybody in this business, and his two hefty tomes are certainly the most complete collection ever compiled on the subject. Highly recommended. Andreas Pfeiffer, Pfeiffer Consulting

The Handbook of Digital Publishing, July 20, 2001,
By Dr. Michael Paige, VP Xerox & Director of... (Palo Alto, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Handbook of Digital Publishing Two Volume Set (Paperback)
Professor Michael Kleper's two volume The Handbook of Digital Publishing is an outstanding source on the foundations of the digital age of publishing. For those of us involved in some part of Graphic Arts/Publishing/Communications, and today that is just about anyone with access to a computer, digital technology has made accessible much of what was art and technique. Congratulations to Professor Kleper who has contributed a timely, thorough, and readable work. This is not just a collection of terminology and technology but a much needed companion to understand the digital publishing "tsunami" which has exploded as fast as the computer technology which underpins it. Happily, Professor Kleper has a lot of energy for he has opened the door to volumes three and more for those technologies still being created .....Buy this book!
