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.
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.

Ben Willmore has written numerous
books on Photoshop. Here are a few of his current books. You
will find them very informative.
Ben has prepared a pdf file called
"Where is my Stuff?".
The file will help you make the transition from Photoshop CS to CS2.
