QXP 7,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: QuarkXPress 7 for Windows & Macintosh (Paperback)
I have always liked the QuickStart Guides because I learn visually and appreciated having them show what the menu, screen and final result should look like. However, while this book does show the new features and there are many, I was extremely disappointed in that they didn't review the powerful new Web layout features that were stressed at MacWorld and on Quarkk's web site. Here, they refer to an earlier book acting as if nothing different has happened. It has and someone, somewhere needs to write a book on just this feature.
Quark showed us in their MacWorld booth the ease of creating both a print and web page at the same time, in fact dragging items from one to the other. For someone who struggles with Dreamweaver, this was web design heaven. Quark does all the heavy lifting and while their own book is good, it hardly begins to show what can be done.

A Great Resource,

This review is from: QuarkXPress 7 for Windows & Macintosh (Paperback)
I had to learn Quark in a pinch. I'm a stay at home mom but do graphic design as a part time job from home. I am very comfortable in Photoshop and Illustrator but had a new client that needed me to update a lot of promotional items that were Quark files. So I ordered this book and one other and have found this one to be very easy to follow and easy to locate the info I need from the index. The explanations are detailed and easy to understand. I haven't read it cover to cover but after referring to it for a few weeks I would say I haven't run into anything in Quark that I couldn't handle. If you need a reference guide for Quark, I'd say this one will not disappoint.

Clear and Concise,

This review is from: QuarkXPress 7 for Windows & Macintosh (Paperback)
I had to purchase this book for my Page Layout class. Having rarely used Quark before the class, I was pleased that this book is clear and concise. It offers a lot of information in a clean, streamlined way. The book also has a list of Quark shortcuts for both Mac and PC which come in handy once you get used to the program (and can start zooming around).
It's a wonderful tool to keep handy when designing in Quark.
