I rebuilt my web site in 2 days using Quark 6.0 thanks to this book! I upgraded to Quark 6.0 in July, 2003 because of the demonstration showing the web site building capabilities. I don't want a flash movie! I don't want anything fancy! Just clean, simple pages assembled in an easy application. Michael Baumgardt has written a "cookbook" illustrating just that. He also has color screen grabs and illustrations on every page. He covers using Photoshop in conjunction with Quark, because that's what the average graphic designer is going to be doing. This book is for the mid-to-high level user of both Photoshop and Quark applications. There's some history on desk top publishing as well. I bought another book just before this one that barely covered the web site building capabilities - what a waste of time.

I searched for Quark books as I am taking a graphics degree and found the course books both years out of date and full of errors, tutors told me they were still the best available and looking in book stores and online I had to agree till I saw this tome and used it, excellent book of Quark and so very easy to follow.

As an Evangelist for Quark, I get to read ALL the titles on QuarkXPress. During my many hours of reading, I found this amazing book "QuarkXPress 6 for Print and Web Design" by Michael Baumgardt. This was the book that I was looking for! Michael's book is a superlative read for the creative mind. It's great to find an author that puts into words the level of creativity you can build with QuarkXPress. I love this book and recommend it whenever I am speaking at an industry event.
