Rating:  - Too much Talk not Enough Lesson
A disappointing book that is not specific enough and you spend too much time searching for answers.
McClelland tries to be a comedian while teaching his lesson's but it turns out to be blah blah blah. In all fairness he gives some pointers that could be helpful but too much time is spent on blather and not enough on the mechanics of the software. It's like watching a cliff hanger, he stops just short of giving you the information he promises but in this case you have to go and find the answers ... Read More
Rating:  - Horrible, Horrible Book, Don't Waste your Time and/or $$$
I have been in school for a while and have used many books to teach me how to use software that I have never used before. This is by far, the most horrible book I have ever had to use. Mr. McClelland spends too much time joking in this book. Also, I hate that not all of the information is in the book since there is a CD that accompanies it. I feel that all of the information should be accessible from the book itself and the CD should just be a bonus. Also, there were many pre-made documents that they ... Read More
Rating:  - Great Mix of Lessons and Videos
This book provides the best way to learn InDesign outside of a classroom; it may even be better than that. Deke explains how his course runs, then provides helpful instructional materials and exercises that are delivered with a common-sense approach that is easy to understand.
The DVD that is included with the book was very helpful. It shows you each step of a lesson and you can replay it as many times as you wish. You won't have classroom instructors doing that. Then, after viewing the video ... Read More
Rating: - This Book Is GREAT
Am a a novice to InDesign CS. I received this book on Dec 26th. By Dec 28 I had solved several problems on documents I had been working on.
I like the idea of the DVD video. I think it is great that Deke give all the short cuts. I speeds my flow and reduces my carpal tunnel pains.
The information is informative, well illustrated and on target.
If you are looking for a good book GET THIS.
Rating: - Beginner to Expert with one book
We're using this book in my Page Layout class at College and it's one of the best "text books" I've ever used. Deke provides lots of extras on the CD to help visualize the steps and end results quickly. He also gives many details as you work through the lessons to get you to an expert level as quickly as possible. I'll look for the One-on-One books for future software training and especially Deke's books.
