Summary: Indesign Bible too meny pages of text
Review: After reading through the first 500 or so pages I could not bear to read another page. Too much like a reference book with no hands on teaching. I thought the cd that came with it would be like the rest of the adobe books I read with lessons that have text and photos which could be applied to training course chapters. Instead I got what indesign could do if you had text and photo's on it.
For someone that likes to read through 1000 and some odd pages to get head knowledge and no hands on experience this is your type of book, but not mine.

Summary: A Compehensive Reference
Review: After ten years of buying and using computer books, I find that a book usually falls into one of two categories: 1. Hands-on Tutorial or 2. Comprehensive Reference. InDesign Bible falls into the later category, providing an excellent reference that is amply illustrated with both Mac and PC screen shots. There are even a few glossy color pages present entitled "Color Techniques." Unlike the "hands-on" type of books that are helpful for the duration of its lessons, InDesign Bible is a "reference" book that has stayed close to my computer for several months. Actually, each type of book has its merits and can compliment each other. For me, Indesign Bible has been a great companion to Abobe's InDesign Classroom in a Book. I highly recommend both titles.

Summary: Another Bible book , Another perfect work...
Review: I have read many "Bible" type books and this one is not one of the best. I was disappointed after reading the book. It explains the nuts and bolts of InDesign but the same information is in the Adobe manual that comes with the software. The InDesign Bible is comprehensive and covers a lot of information with regard to desk-top publishing, therefore I would recommend this book to novices or newcomers to the field of publishing and print layout. It also only covers version 1 of InDesign and version 1.5 has just been announced to be shipping mid to late April. If you are new to publishing and just starting out with InDesign this book could be helpful. However the Adobe InDesign manual contains much of the same material and printed on better paper.

Summary: Another Bible book , Another perfect work...
Review: When I see this book in my local bookstore I bought it because it was a Bible. I came back to in front of my computer and start reading. Finally I can say this : "PERFECT!" It is my 4th Bible series book. If you want a Quark Killer- a new type approach to desktop publishing and if you think Adobe is the best graphics software developer in the world aaannd you didnt buy a indesign book yet , BUY this one. I can suggest this book to all level users. Thanks Adobe and thanks IDG.
