Summary: Great Basics in an Easy to Carry and Use Design
Review: I have taught DTP for years, and this book is the simplest and easiest guide to understanding the basic phrases and fundamental concepts associated with desktop publishing.

I have used this book for years as a resource guide for 9-12 grade students, but it is outstanding for anyone seeking a basic reference of the terminology used in desktop publishing. The layout program you use doesn't matter, as the information applies to any program.

The book is laid out well, the type is large, and the spiral binding helps a lot. There are clear, specific examples for the terms, and I loved the area that has suggestions for layout and design.

The price is reasonable and the book is handy to carry, not cumbersome at all. A great desk and classroom reference guide for everyone. A staple for your reference list, especially if you are teaching DTP.
