He received it about 2 weeks after his birthday. I haven’t talked to him about how he liked it, so I can’t really evaluate it. I know that he was happy to get it. It was on his Amazon gift list. I use that list almost every year for his birthday

This is just what I was looking for, background, clear explainations, and detailed instruction. I would look forward to any future publications by this author.

I bought it, I like it, I use it, it’s worth it. Have read it cover to cover twice. But since this is a book about typography, I can’t resist pointing out errors in that vein.
1. There is no example C with figure 7.9, page 92.
2. There is a double-hyphen on page 157 in violation of a guideline on page 158.
3. A spell check would have caught the “areis” on page 212.
4. The hyphenation break on “conservation” violates the very guideline being stated on page 157.
There are other typos, but let me move on. Biggest weakness: the book stops abruptly on p. 262. How about finishing with a wrap-up chapter of some kind? This could include summary-level checklists. Even so, I would still buy it again.

This is a very helpful book!!! I am using it for my Typography 1 class in college and it is making my projects so much easier because of the helpful hints and shortcuts…it is one of the best resources that I have or could ask for!

I really like this book. It is almost impossible to find a book on typography that actually teaches the practicalities of using InDesign to produce functional typography. This is a very good book and an excellent read. The content still works well for CS3 and CS4.
I use it in all my typography coursework.
