Classroom in a Book: Adobe PageMaker 6.5 is a cross-platform, self-paced training guide to all the power and features of the top-rated DTP software. In a matter of hours, users can fully comprehend the complexities of the software by "doing" rather than reading. The CD contains the art files, text files, fonts, and training materials needed to complete the tutorial lessons.

A terrific book for a terrific program.:

I've been using Pagemaker since the original beta release by Aldus for the MacIntosh. Still, each revision of Pagemaker forces me to spend time learning the changes. Fortunately, the crew at Adobe knows how to help an old dog learn new tricks.

Regardless of your expertise this book is sure to quickly teach you how to be more productive in a shorter time than most any other method.

I urge all PM users to buy this book.

Bad Binding:

Get this book but reinforce the binding. It will tend to fall to pieces after a few weeks of use. In other words the "perfect binding" is less than perfect.

A professor's take on this book:

This is the kind of book you use if you have time to go through all of the tutorials in order- I use it in a specific Pagemaker class and we go through the Lessons 1 at a time. I wouldn't recommend this as a reference book though- as something to look up specific things and how to do them one at a time.
I do have to say, this book is pretty borning, dryly written and doesn't touch on a lot of the more creative ways Pagemaker can be used. A book called Adobe Pagemaker Basics is a good companion to this,... more info

Perfect Overview:

This book is perfect for jumping in and learing just what pagemaker can do...a great way for the novice to get started. For more detailed information, an additional reference book will probably be needed for in-depth learning. It served my needs perfectly.
