Real World InDesign CS2 - Industrial Strength Page Layout Techniques

By David Blatner, Olav Martin Kvern

Published by Peachpit Press.

ISBN: 0321322029; Published: Jan 17, 2006; Copyright 2006; Dimensions 7-1/2 X 9-1/4; Pages: 888; Edition: 1st.

I consider myself a beginner using InDesign CS2.  I have purchased other books to learn this product, and they are just sitting on my bookshelf.  The Real World approach lives up to the name.  Meaningful examples are shown and good advice is given.  This is much more helpful than the common  encyclopedia type approach.

This book is also very comprehensive.  I especially like the in-depth coverage on creating and managing books (long documents).  Sometimes it is valuable to see the most complex structure so you can keep these concepts in mind as you go.  This strategy can eliminate many hours of rework.

For absolute beginners, I recommend "Creating a Newsletter in InDesign" by Katrin Straub & Torsten Buck to get you started.  This quick overview of a project will give you a good foundation to build on.  Used along with this book, you will be on your way sooner.

Rated as for Beginning, Intermediate, and Advanced, this book has something for everyone.

PRINT like a PRO - A digital Photographer's Guide

by Jon Canfield

Peachpit Press

ISBN D-321-38554-3

Printing your own photos can be a very frustrating experience.  It also may your most rewarding.  To turn this into a fun endeavor, you need help from a book like this.  Jon's clear and straightforward approach will get you on the path to make printing one of your favorite sections of your workflow.

If you are seeking information on color management, Jon covers the industry leaders well and helps you choose the product that fits your needs and budget.  I found his description of "ColorVision's Spyder 2" being clear and accurate.

The choice is yours.  Waste time and money on discarded prints, or invest in a book of this nature to save money and improve your results over time.
