5.0 out of 5 stars It covers the lot., April 27, 2005

By

This review is from: Printing Technology (Design Concepts) (Hardcover)

I have bought a number of books on each of the topics of Typography, Printing, Prepress and other related areas. I have now lost count on the total number, but it is many, many dozen.

The cost? I fear to tally it up.

I could have saved all that time, money and effort.

I could have bought PRINTING TECHNOLOGY 5E.

If this book was twice the price, it would still be worth the money.

In 500 pages, it covers everything.

----------------------------------------------------

There a books that focus on one area or a number of areas, but I have not come across any that cover everything from original thought to final product. There are some that claim to, and indeed, I thought that some of those actually did.

However, after this book, I realize that none of the others have.

In many books you have to wade through the authors own personal references and experiences, bad jokes, margin notes, clever icons, philosophical quotes and other 'padding'. The book here is strictly to the point. It is well written, direct and economical. By economical, I mean that basically one page in this book is equal to one chapter in another.

The book is brief, but it is by no means a short book. It covers everything. By leaving out the nonsense, the author manages to fit in everything of relevance. This is 500 pages crammed with information.

I have read some good books on this subject, written by the very most prestigious and respected authors in the field. However, I will have to admit that this one is the best of the lot.

I thank the author for creating this work for my use.

Regards to you all

4.0 out of 5 stars Review of Printing Technology 5E, August 21, 2005

By 

C. Lambert (Cape Town, South Africa) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Printing Technology (Design Concepts) (Hardcover)

This book is a well laid out, easy to read study of the Printing Industry with plenty of graphics to help visualise processes and machines. A definate recommendation to all those intending to follow the Printing Industry as a career.

A recommendation to the authors / publishers would be an easily accessable web site to help students and lecturers with lesson plans and other queries which might arise. The current web site is not user friendly as one would have hoped for.

I rate this book a solid 4 out of 5 stars.

Best wishes

I was very pleased when receiving this book! The book arrived sooner than scheduled and was exactly what I was looking for and paid less than I had anticipated paying. The company's description was accurate and would purchase another item from them! Thanks!
