Best buy

This is a WONDERFUL book! At the newspaper where I work, we have the InDesign CS2 book, but I am a recent Indesign beginner and needed something simpler. This book has the best index I've seen in a while, and you receive step-by-step (literally) instructions on how to create text boxes, place photos, etc. I would have paid full price for the product if I'd had to - it is that great!

Not for dummies only

I got Adobe InDesign for Dummies on the recommendation of a friend, as I was fighting my way thru a project using InDesign 1.0. It has basically the same information to be found in the InDesign manual, but it's much easier to understand.
