The best on the market!!!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
I have both copies of this book (for Pagemaker 5 and for 6). It is the best book on the market by far for beginners in desktop publishing. I would like to use this book as a textbook in an adult ed program. The students in this class are novices in computer experience but need something basic for their small businesses or church offices or small private schools. I sincerely hope this book keeps pace with new upgrades of Adobe Pagemaker, the easiest and most versatile layout program on the market for the small business, inexperienced computer user.
An excellent resource for both PageMaker and design

The best part about this book is the extensive introductory section packed with design ideas for different kinds of work. I teach PageMaker classes, and this is always my top recommendation!
Want to be a master? That's the only introduction you need!

This is kind of book that leads you from "inconcious unawareness" to "concious mastery" not only on PageMaker, but also on design at the whole. Everybody knows that one cannot learn design by book; after reading "Desktop Publishing by Design" which is fulfilled with so many tips and techniques, advices and examples, one won't be so certain about the beginning of this sentence.
Informative, detailed, and well-written

I'm a novice designer who recently took on the responsibility for my company's quarterly magazine. This book gave me a thorough introduction to layout, typography, and electronic prepress, with lots of intelligent examples. I also picked up dozens of time-saving Pagemaker 6.0 shortcuts I might never have gotten around to learning if I'd just played with the program and skimmed the manual. I was able to make immediate improvements to both the design and the production process of the magazine issue I was working on. I plan to read the book again--it's huge, by the way, and packed with peanuts--in a few months to get all the stuff I was unable to absorb the first time. Totally worthwhile.
