Any suggestions? Today I need to buy a book to learn InDesign.

I'm a little lost when I try to use it... I'm really really good at Quark, only so-so with Illustrator or Photoshop... and I'm designing an annual directory in InDesign over the mext three weeks... (It's a freelance on-premise gig and they use InDesign only) Once I get rolling I imagine it won't be a big problem to learn and master...

well I bought Blatner & pals InDesign for the Quark User...

This forum is half-dead...

I've actually been thinking about getting one for my office. We are strictly an ID house, and while we are more than proficient, I would like to learn about some of the advanced features not used on an everyday basis.

Any recs?

This ain't a bad book for learning InDesign if you know Quark... but it leaves a LOT of stuff out...

I totally agree... I asked the same question but for a Quark 6 book and only 7 views in almost two days.

Got any links to share for other creative forums?

This place above has separate forums for Quark, InDesign, Photoshop, etc etc etc,

The forums are hideously ugly and clautrophobic feeling, but they are responsive and knowledgable...
