Summary: Book's OK, Amazon's price off by $10
Review: The book has a bunch of tips, roughly 2 per page, like the other books in the series. There's a mix of 3 kinds of tips -- ones that are common to other programs, like Illustrator and Photoshop, ones that are unique to InDesign, but either fairly obvious, or just uninteresting, and ones that are unique and non-obvious. There are enough of the latter to warrant buying the book, if you want to learn the shortcuts that make you efficient with the program. The CS series of programs no longer come with manuals by default, and the manuals that are available from Adobe by special order are much thinner than in past releases. So we're going to need books like this to reveal the shortcuts, especially those that don't have corresponding menu items!

Note, however, that the current price Amazon is listing, $39.99, is off by $10, since the actual retail price of the book is only $29.99.

Summary: Well Worth The Money!
Review: This was a great buy! I've recently switched from Quark to InDesign (with no official training!) and this book helped a lot. It isn't the most detailed, it's not a bible, but it does deliver the "killer tips" that are so very necessary to working with this program day in & out! Yes, a lot of them are common knowledge, but it was worth the money for the dozen or so that are not to be found anywhere in the help menus, you know the ones that make you giggle as you realize how much time you're gonna save!
