The Visual Quickstart Guide for QuarkXPress 7 is an excellent manual. I recommend it for folks at all levels of expertise.QuarkXPress 7 for Windows & Macintosh (Visual QuickStart Guide)
Fast delivery
I ordered this book for a class. It was delivered in record time. However, my class was canceled and I never even opened it. -still have it though.
Extremely helpful
I have had no classes in any generation of QuarkXPress. The Visual QuickStart Guide has helped me navigate the program like a pro.
Clear and Concise
I had to purchase this book for my Page Layout class. Having rarely used Quark before the class, I was pleased that this book is clear and concise. It offers a lot of information in a clean, streamlined way. The book also has a list of Quark shortcuts for both Mac and PC which come in handy once you get used to the program (and can start zooming around).
It's a wonderful tool to keep handy when designing in Quark.
QuarkXPress 7 Visual QuickStart Guide
QuickStart Guide books have always been my first choice for learning software. They leave out all the conversation and get right to the point. Usually, I don't have time for a chat, I just want to find out how to accomplish something. If you need quick info, the QuickStart Guides are the books for you.
Although I am leaning more toward InDesign for layout now, this book is good for jumping from QuarkXPress 6.5 to version 7, One thing I particularly like and use often is the keyboard shortcut list. I wish I could say I like the application as much as I like the book.
