5.0 out of 5 stars
Good deal, lots of info,
By Carol Ann "CarolsCreative" (Missouri) - See all my reviews
This review is from: InDesign CS2 at Your Fingertips (Paperback)
I found this book really helpful, even covered some things the others didn't. I like that the guy who wrote it is a real designer, he knows whats important in real situations, not just hypothetical design ideas. It was easy following the instructions, doing it myself. A good deal.

InDesign CS2 at Your Fingertips,
By KayO "aolson8" (Wakefield, RI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: InDesign CS2 at Your Fingertips (Paperback)
This is a fantastic resource when you need to review something quickly. For those new to InDesign, it is a great companion to the book, Adobe InDesign CS2 HOT. The author has written a very good course and the book is logically laid out.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Great instructional guide,
By Valerie N. "Valerie" (St. Petersburg, Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: InDesign CS2 at Your Fingertips (Paperback)
Solid instructional guide. As a beginning InDesign user, I found it to be hands-on and practical. If you follow his step by step instructions, you shouldn't have too much difficulty learning the program. Having pretty simple instructions with lots of support graphics on each page also helped (though it would have been nicer if the entire book was color). Great tips written in user-friendly language. I would definitely recommend it to any first-time InDesign user.
