I'm really impressed with Adobe InDesign @work: Projects You Can Use on the Job. Cate Indiano found just the right balance of easy step-by-step instructions and pertinent background information, including workflow, project management, and production issues. The example layouts and files are well-designed and provide real-world context for the entire book. You won't find any fluff here - just a combination of clear and purposeful text and screenshots.

Book Overview: Most books on creative applications approach the reader with descriptions of how to use tools - and make some reference to putting those tools into a real-world context. InDesign At Work turns this approach on its ear by introducing key tools in a single chapter - and then moving on to what readers really want to know - how to use InDesign to complete the projects that they face. This book provides step-by-step coverage of how to complete 10 projects that a panel of users has verified as common projects those using the application are asked to complete. Tips, tricks, and notes provide readers with the information they need to carry over what they learn on these projects to others they'll undoubtedly be asked to create.
