Excellent intermediate training October 4, 2008
Bought the book as an intermediate trainng reference for my apprentices with no backgrounds in Adobe CS2 in my own agency. The practical training one gets is limited to the kind of projects the agency does. So, one will not really learn a lot until the need arises. This book for InDesign (and I must say the same for Photoshop and Illustrator) provided my staff with the whole gamut of skills to learn and practice exercise to be able to perform their work when we finally needed to do certain tasks.

Great instructional book. The tone of the book is not preachy but confident. It's great for beginners who are trying to switch from Quark to INDesign.

This book is chock full of good information for new designers needing to know more about the production side of the world. This book is a great reference and enlightened me on aspects I didn't even know I needed to know. I listen to David Blatner's "InDesign Secrets podcasts", and his humor and knowledge carry through in this book.

Being an established professional in the graphics field, I am exposed to many publications. Over 85% of published 'how-to' publications are nothing more than a dressed-up copy of the user's manual. This book IS NOT ONE OF THEM!
Being technical oriented, yet creative versatile, I look at books beyond the flashy covers and the chosen layout. This title is one the finest books ever written on InDesign CS2. It challenges the reader with an abundance of information.
Not every operator uses InDesign CS2 the same way. This book addresses the needs of the readers. A Must Buy for the InDesign end user than needs more information than how to setup a document, and an expanded view of the rich features InDesign has to offer.
Best Reference for InDesign CS2 July 5, 2006

Real World InDesign CS2 is what the users manual should be. For example, It covers Tables which only appear in the online help for InDesign CS2. The users manual only makes reference to See the Help files. Like the previous Real World InDesign texts it is well written, easy to understand, and covers all of the functions of the software. From creating an initial layout to color management to Printing the final project Real World InDesign CS2 is the text to have. I would recommend Real World InDesign CS2 to both Novices and long-time users of InDesign. It is the one book you will refer to time and again for problem solving.
