Summary: Very helpful
Comment: I am a convert from PageMaker, so I was already familiar with a lot of the functions in InDesign. However, the book has still been very beneficial. The examples and already finished or almost finished documents that come on the disc are great tools to learn with.
The book is easy to read, despite being written by Adobe. Sometimes the only way to learn is to buy a book written by a third party, but I've found that is not the case here. Adobe did a great job.

Summary: What about CS3?
Comment: I'm only giving it 1 star because CS3 has now been released, so the book is of modest value except for those who wish not to take advantage of the new and improved. Try taking this one to a used book store and you'll see that at "1" it's over-rated.
Aside from that, this is an excellent series of manuals, particular valuable as software publishers no longer include manuals! As they say at O'Reilly: "The book that should have been in the box."

Summary: Adobe InDesign CS2 Classroom in a Book
Comment: This book is extremely helpful with the Adobe InDesign program I wish I would have had it a year ago!!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Esencial para básicos e intermedios
Comment: Como instructora de productos adobe, puedo comentarles que es un libro que contiene todo lo necesario para poner en marcha a cualquier persona en Indesign. Cubre desde aspectos básicos hasta intermedio. Le hace falta más lecciones sobre armado de documentos. No es perfecto, pero le pongo 5 estrellas porque es el mejor material para empezar a aprender y aún si usas el programa en forma empírica aprenderás muchas de las posibilidades de Indesign. Si necesitas más práctica en formación editorial, tienes que buscar más material. Este libro contiene lo esencial de: creación de documentos, páginas maestras, manejo de frames, flujo de texto, estilos de párrafo, carácter y objeto, control tipográfico, caracteres especiales, creación de color, control de imágenes vinculadas, cómo colocar formatos nativos, PSDs, AIs, PDFs, manejo de documentos largos, books e índices, manejo de color, creación de tablas, uso de transparencia, impresión y exportación PDF. Adelante, es bueno.
