Title: Disappointing, but not useless
Review: If you have even a modicum of page layout/design experience, this book will be nearly useless to you. It's filled with examples of how the author took a bad layout, moved some things around, added elements, removed others, enlarged or shrunk photos, and declared the result improved. Now, it's completely true - the After layouts look much better than the Before layouts - but there's little theory behind the changes, simply a series of pronouncements.Those that need a "do this, do this, and do this" approach that's heavy on picas, this might be your book. I found it stiff and not particularly useful.
