Negative Positive
Title: Newsletter Maven
Review: Having bought excellent training CDs from Lynda.com in the past, I was happy to see that the company expanded into book publishing with the InDesign CS2 book by Brian Wood.The book itself is very well written and thoughtfully organized, but another huge advantage is the inclusion of training videos and PDFs that go a long way in helping users get grounded in InDesign CS2.This book represents an excellent value. The inclusion of exercise files based on actual projects is a far superior way to learn the program than some of the basic, generic instruction found in "Visual Quickstart" books, although those books are reasonably priced and do convey a lot of information. I've bought and value those books.But Brian Wood's book is the state-of-the-art in InDesign instruction, a fitting companion to a phenomenal page design program. If you want to learn InDesign at a reasonable price, this is the only way to go.
