If you're serious about QuarkXPress, this is the book to have. It's the highest rated, most comprehensive, and best-selling QuarkXPress book ever published. Now totally updated and rewritten to cover version 3.3, it includes a handy tear-out card showing keystroke shortcuts. Includes XTensions, Efi color, and AppleEvent scripting. Winner of the Benjamin Franklin Award, Computer Book Category, and runner-up for the Publish Readers' Choice Award, Mac Book Category.This is the classic QuarkXPress book: the best-selling, most widely-praised XPress book ever written - by far. Tim Gill, founder and Senior Vice President of R&D for Quark, Inc., wrote the foreword, saying, "This is more than a good book on XPress. It is a great book." The editor of Personal Publishing said "If you use XPress, you need this book." The accolades have poured in, including two awards for best computer book. However, with the software changing with increasing frequency, the authors found the book's incremental updates unsatisfying. They knew it was time for a massive overhaul. The Fourth Edition has been rewritten from the ground up to cover both versions 3.2 and 3.3. Included are dozens of new tips and illustrations. AppleEvent scripting is covered in detail, including several examples of never-before-published scripts. A greatly expanded Resources chapter covers all the latest tools, utilities, XTensions, books and organizations pertinent to the software. A two-color keyboard chart is bound into the back of the book - the most comprehensive list of shortcuts around - and the easiest to use, as well!

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
In its fourth edition, The QuarkXPress Book for Macintosh is a fixture of Quarkdom--it's the book that Quark's technical support staff has to learn cover-to-cover before hitting the phone lines. With new revisions for each version from 3.0 to 3.3 (and a complete rewrite for this edition), the book has matured along with the application.
The writing style is straightforward, presenting QuarkXPress as a set of major concepts, such as printing, type, and typography. Discussions in each chapter center around a particular task. For instance, the book approaches style sheets by first introducing the user to the concept and building a framework to demonstrate the use of style sheets before explaining the creation and other technical, menu, and dialog box-oriented issues.
Both beginners and somewhat experienced users can garner a lot from The QuarkXPress Book for Macintosh; it's rich enough to periodically return to once you've gained more experience with the program.

Save yourself hundreds of dollars in Quark courses,
By A Customer
This review is from: The QuarkXPress Book for Macintosh (Paperback)
This book will carry you through your first frame to the most advanced project and guide you in a jam. It's a must have reference book and tutorial for all Quark users and DTPers. The advice is excellent, easy to read and well organized. My only reservation is that Quark 4.0 will be released soon, so if you're not currently going to be using the current or prior release, maybe you should wait for the upgrade.
