Personal comment: This was my first book. Consequently, I should love it mostly. But no! It is a victim of the athenian publisher "ION", Parikos, Pariko, Parikos etc; they are 3-4 brothers... He has stolen me all my rights and paid me only once! I'm quite sure he made a second edition as well, for his own profit, of course...

So, to all author candidates:
Away from the cheating publisher "ION"!!!

About the content: it covers with many images and in an appropriate way the software. Parallel to this, it provides stuff about the general area of DTP and Graphic Design. (but unfortunately not much about the publishing procedures themselves. These issues were unknown to me at that time, but I covered them in the second volume of the Journalist Books).

This book is not recommended for two reasons:
1. For not to support the cheater-publisher "ION", and
2. Because the versions of QuarkXPress are much beyond 3.3 (that is described in the book)

It is recommended if:
a. Somebody gives it to you for free
b. You are looking for some special informations about DTP and Graphic Design
c. You are Macintosh user, since the book covers both platforma

You can have a writing example in Adobe.pdf
