Publisher 2000 Get Professional results turned out to be a much needed addition to my book collection. It can help not only first time users but those who have used Publisher for a long time. It gets down to it by not telling you how your mouse works and all the newdie stuff you find in other books including those from Microsoft Press. I keep it next to my computer for suggestions and new ideas for my projects.

I think this book is pretty good for the beginner to intermediate reader. I appreciate that this book not only covers the technical issues, but has a nice coverage of many business and formatting issues of creating good newsletters, brochures, and other documents. Overall it provides a good introduction to the very wide variety of technical, business, and formatting issues relating to making a very wide variety of documents. So to the fairly casual or introductory reader, I would recommend this book.
Unfortunately, I was not in that group. I am very familiar with similar software, I've developed newsletters and similar documents for years, and I've used Publisher briefly for a few weeks. I was hoping for a book that would get down into the nuts and bolts of using Publisher and I found the book was lacking in that respect. It took a long time to sift through all the introductory and general information to find the nuggets on advanced features. At the end of doing this, I still had many unanswered questions about how to get the most out of Publisher. So, I would not recommend this book for more experienced readers.
Happy reading.
