Summary: Review of RealWorld QuarkXPress 6
Comment: First let me say this is a great book of information. One can find it very useful and apply the authors techniques just fine.
Having said that it's very annoying to read and use as a reference.
Fist issue is it's BULK (3 actually 2.98 pounds for my copy) and the size 9.5 x 7.5 x 1.875. With over 900 pages (908) there is a lot of redundancy and extraneous reading.This is a Two Handed Whopper to hold. Which makes it difficult to use at the computer unless you have a big desk to hold it for you.
Next issue is that the author references Figures constantly. They give the reader a great visual of what he's intending you to see however: The page he references you to SEE a figure on is more often than not on the page that the figure is on.
IE on page 441 he tells you to: (see Figure 7-14). You will find Figure 7-14 on page 442 but that figure is on the page behind what your reading. So now your turning the page to look at the figure only to have to go back to the previous page to keep reading. The reader will find this in almost every instance ... notice I said ALMOST ... because there were a FEW instances where the figure was actually on the page I was reading ... but not very often.

Summary: Quark without Blatner is no quark at all
Comment: If you have to put up with the quirks in Quark, then David Blatner's book is essential. I don't know him, have nothing to do with his book, but I do know he's a heck of an instructor and writer. Quark (the company) is useless when you need help. Quark is an average software made good by Blatner's book. He's the Lynda Weinman of Quark. Get it. You'll be elated that you did.
