Customer Reviews

Concise, clear, and effective

EXCELLENT reference book. Material is presentedly lucidly, without the superfluous details. The extra visual guides facilitate the learning process extremely well. If you are looking for a book that covers the fundamentals (including flowing text and styling sheets), I HIGHLY recommend this visual quick guide book. After all, who wants to read a verbose material that never seems to address your questions?

From a novice Quarker

Those of us who communicate in spoken English sometimes despair of technical manuals written by those who don't. This is true even for those of us who are quite literate in computer-speak. This Vistual Quickstart Guide to QuarkXPress 6 is a wonderful exception. Quark is a highly intuitive program that makes sense once one grasps the basics, and I found this an excellent reference guide to learning this powerful program. However, I found it worked best if I was at my computer exploring the areas being discussed in the text. What was most helpful to me were the screen illustrations.

Excellent and concise

I have read a couple of the Visual Quick Start books by these authors and find them to be readable and concise. The way the material is portrayed is precise, and conveys the general idea of the task to be accomplished with a minimum of extraneous information.Highly recommended.The only downside is that there is not example material included with the books.A

Nothing Less Than Awesome

I'll stay away from long reviews. If you have used Elaine Weinman's books before, you know to expect a first-class guide. If you haven't, put down the ... bible and go for this one. I taught myself Quark 4 from one of her books and these are invaluable references.
