5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect way to learn PageMaker!, December 21, 2000

This review is from: PageMaker 6.5 Plus for Windows, Second Edition (Visual QuickStart Guide) (Paperback)

I've been a fan of the Quickstart series from Peachpit for a while now, but this book is by far the best that I have read. What really impressed me was that this book was actually designed by the author in PageMaker. If anyone knows the product, he does, and he's managed to share all of his insights and tips quite well. A must have.

Great book for early users of Pagemaker 6.5. It's a perfect reference book to have when you're working on a Pagemaker file and need to learn a particular portion of the program.
