Not Too Helpful
Purchased the book because my firm was migrating to InDesign last year and I remembered from past experience the Classroom in a Book series was pretty good. Well, the book is somewhat helpful EXCEPT for the errors noted in the review below. It's pretty disappointing that the publisher of the software couldn't have done a better job with their own guide! For a better intro to InDesign, try the Visual Quickstart Guide.

Surprising Disappointment
My review of this book echoes those before me insofar as the typos are concerned. I am transitioning over to InDesign from Pagemaker and thank goodness I know Adobe products as well as I do. In the first 25 pages there are over 5 major errors that cost time. They misnumber their example pages (ie: see page 3 but the picture they show is actually of page 2) to telling you the wrong menu to select (Go to type>text wrap, when in reality the text wrap command is under window>text wrap) Since I have a good knowledge of Adobe, I can overcome this, but if you are not mostly familiar with adobe's interfaces through photoshop, pagemaker, etc, this IS NOT THE BOOK FOR YOU. I love a lot of the CIB books too, but this one is a miserable experience. Hope they get a new editor before they lose more readers. Plus, once you open the classwork CD you can't return the book. Don't make my mistake!
