Better than a user manual, but not ideal format.
While I did find this book helpful in learning Quark, I did not feel that information and lessons were arranged in the most useful manner. I felt like, especially in the first chapters, information was being thrown at me without much application, and was thus difficult to remember. I prefer the lesson approach of the "Classroom in a Book" series, which I have used successfully for Photoshop and Illustrator, but ordered this when I was unable to find CiB for Quark. Visual QuickStart is pretty good, but perhaps I've been spoiled.

Great learning tool
This book really helped me learn QuarkXPress. The program is very complicated and difficult to figure out for someone who has no previous experience with desktop publishing. This book helped shed some light on Quark and actually made it funtional for me. There is still a lot more to learn, but this book is great for those who are just starting out.

Good for quick reference and general info
Have bought 5 or 6 of these Quickstart guides and find most of them to be very good. The Quark version is nice in that it gets right to the point about what the program can do and how to do it.Have never used Quark before, so I bought this book and David Blatner's "The QuarkXpress 4 Book". The quickstart guide is great for the quick pointers, and Blatner's book is excellent for more detailed information about the program. I would highly recommend both books to Quark users...QS book for newbies, and the other book for newbies thru advanced.
