Rating:  Summary: Excellent and concise Review: 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
Rating:  Summary: Nothing Less Than Awesome Review: 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.
Rating:  Summary: Have you ever read the dictionary cover to cover? Review: Reading this book in order to learn QuarkXpress is akin to reading the dictionary cover to cover in order to learn the English language. Can it be done? Maybe. But it is not recommended.
This book may be useful as a detailed reference guide on a given subject but it should not be used to learn Quark. After attempting to read this book cover to cover for 70+ pages I had to put it down and find another quick start book to learn Quark.
