If you're serious about QuarkXPress for Windows, 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. Also includes extra tips about using Windows from the perspective of a Macintosh user - for those folks making the cross-platform journey.The QuarkXPress Book, 2nd Edition for Windows is a major update from the first edition, covering QuarkXPress for Windows, version 3.3. An extensive appendix covers the dozens of new features available for the first time to Windows users with the release of version 3.3, including new printing, tabulation, page layout, and color management tools. Because many Windows users will continue to use release 3.1 (there is no version 3.2 for Windows), an icon has been inserted throughout the book to flag the changes found in 3.3. There's also an entire appendix on EfiColor - a color management system - plus an updated appendix on Mac/PC file transfers, which has become substantially easier on both platforms in QuarkXPress 3.3.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
The QuarkXPress Book for Macintosh has been a fixture of Quarkdom since it first came out after the release of QuarkXPress 3.0. The Windows version followed, and this second edition covers both QuarkXPress 3.1 and 3.3 for Windows. The guide appeared after the release of QuarkXPress 3.3 for Windows, so it doesn't cover Windows 95 at all; it's firmly embedded in the Windows 3.1 world.
That aside, the book is still the only title on the market that focuses solely on Windows and covers the robust QuarkXPress 3.3 release. The book assumes some knowledge--you should have spent at least a few days or weeks with QuarkXPress and several months with a PC.
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 Windows; it's rich enough to periodically return to once you've gained more experience with the program.
