5.0 out of 5 stars Learn PM by Actually Doing, Not by Reading Boring Garbage, January 28, 2000

By	MDC (New York City) - See all my reviews

In this book, the acual Adobe team teaches you how to use the powerful program, Pagemaker. You really retain what they teach you because you yourself are doing the projects. You learn in the context of the lesson. You learn the basics, like text editing, and move up to trapping and other cool stuff. I am only a high school student laying out his school's newspaper on PageMaker, and though I knew a little PageMaker, this book really shows you information even an advanced graphical designer would not know.

GOOD WORK, ADOBE! Now if only I could say that about InDesign... never mind!

4.0 out of 5 stars Adobe PageMaker Classrom in a book 6.5, April 29, 2000

By	MM "Margaret in the Mountains" (Va USA) - See all my reviews

I had never used PageMaker or any software like it and this book made me very comfortable with basic PageMaker features. I had trouble using the fonts included on the book's CD and wished for troubleshooting information about that but otherwise I had no trouble with the lessons.

5.0 out of 5 stars The BEST way to learn Pagemaker quickly!!!, August 23, 1998

By A Customer

I am an advanced Pagemaker designer and I recently was assigned to train coworkers in its usage. I was able to teach them with the help of this book in two days!! I wish I had learned from this book -- it would have saved many, many hours of my time.
