Microsoft for Dummies.......2007-02-10

It was of some help, but I thought it would show me step by step how to do a publication. You have to leave one chapter and go to another to get all the directions to set up your publication. Not quite written as simply as they say. I guess I'm a little dumber than your regular dummie!

MS Publisher For Dummies.......2005-08-09

The book was listed as 'Good Condition' and arrived in a very short time in what I can only describe as 'Excellent Condition' I am very pleased with the book, delivery, and service.

Not recommended for all........2000-08-13

Overall, I found this book jam packed with a little bit of info on every topic necessary but I felt like it spent more time DESCRIBING the features and EXPLAINING WHY they were important instead of giving HANDS-ON INSTRUCTIONS. The book called "Quick Course in Microsoft Publisher 2000" by Joyce Cox and Christina Dudley (ISBN: 1582780072) was more helpful for me. I acknowledge that each person has a different style of learning. If you need specific hands-on instruction, go with Quick Course. If you need to understand the big picture first, go with the Dummies book. Good luck!

Where's the F/X?.......2000-10-26

I thought this book included some F/Xs but when opening the book I realised the book does not include any tips and tricks of F/X. Anyhow, for a beginner this book can be useful but for an advanced user it's useless.

this is a pamphlet, not a book.......2007-02-21

If you want an advertsing pamphlet telling the good things that can be done with MS Publisher, you'll like this. If you want guidance on how to use the program, look elsewhere. For the same money, you could probably get more useful info from the various MS Office books that devote 30-40 pages to publisher

It was helpful. I am doing a newsletter ans it did not have much information regarding this type of publication. I have used it some.

A little less than I had hoped it would be........2006-02-23

I have purchased a number of desktop publishing books and would have to say when compared to others this is extremely dated. By that I mean many of the examples are no longer relevant... that is unless you and your customers still use floppy disks, VHS, and a roladex on a daily basis! Not too cutting edge. However, it was not a total loss of $$$. There are many ideas that are useful and while a few of the others are outdated, they may still trigger some ideas to transition to applications for modern times. I feel if you get one good idea from a book, it may be worth the price of admission.

The Desktop Publisher's Idea Book, Second Edition.......2004-04-23

This is an incredible book. Chuck Green shows us how he produces clean, professional, fresh, striking ideas for a large variety of design applications and he tells us how he produces them. His instructions, like his designs, are well laid out and very clear. Novice designers can now produce very professional and effective design by following his advice and examples. Experienced designers will find a wealth of information.

I have gone to Chuck's web site Ideabook.com for years to get ideas and reference. I was always amazed how Chuck could have so much information and by the use of layout, colour and graphics make the site inviting, fun and yet not cluttered. His book follows his web site design in that he shows both great design and how to instructions in a very appealing and easy to follow way. Chuck's ability to simplify the complex is unique and to me very valuable. Tremendous value, a must have reference book.

Not what I expected..........2002-02-08

As a graphic artist, this book was a book about templates, and personally I have created and seen much better work than was featured here. This is the last book I buy from Mr. Green.

A Must Have!.......2001-08-29

I just received the "Desktop Publishing Idea Book" and I am in love. One of the sections I enjoyed is the Resource section in the back in respect to Project Materials. I would love to see a section on the ideabook.com web site relative to these type resources. I spent about three hours on the ideabook.com web
site this morning. What a wonderful source of information in addition to this valuable book, and the site's structure and navigation is commendable.
Having been developing web sites myself for over five years, I am slowly making my way into DP because my clients think that because I am a professional web developer and graphic designer, I should be able to whip up a business card or brochure for them. The concept isn't hard for me. I have been artistic and a natural brainstormer all my life and enjoy dabbling with new software. The problem is taking the time out to branch into
another area and going through that uncomfortable learning curve. Chuck's book is a wonderful tool to set my brain in motion and it has done just that. Having only browsed through a few chapters and jumping from section to section, I already have pages of notes and ideas to help promote my existing dot com businesses. This morning I also ordered Chuck's newest "Logo" book too and anticipate the wealth of information it likely contains. Thank you, Chuck Green, for the inspirations
and nudge forward into DP. It undoubtedly will take some of that uncomfortable learning curve away.

One Great Resource -- Many Great Applications.......2001-07-03

Although the Idea Book includes many projects designed with easy to follow templates in mind, probably the best thing about this book is that it's NOT just another book of templates.

I found many projects in the book to be unique and effective revenue generators and promotional tools that I may never have otherwise created.

I personally used his "WebCard" idea (page 321) on my own website, and response to this one simple little graphic application has been phenomenal.

The "Book Jacket Index" (page 44) is now something I use on all my frequently referenced books -- highlighted passages can only be seen when you remember which page they're on, and I'm tired of all the little Post-Its poking out of my books -- they get bent, moved, and eventually dry-up and fall out. The jacket index eliminates these problems.

The "Info Book" and "Take A Test Brochure" are two more examples of great items to suggest design clients use as marketing tools.

And don't forget Chuck Green's website, ideabook.com -- it's Chuck-full (I mean Chock-full) of additional information for using design, clipart, and fonts effectively. A great resource for any creative professional.

Best computer book I've ever used.......2003-10-02

After wasting time and money on other nearly-worthless computer software books in the past, I wasn't expecting this book to be much better--but wow, was I suprised. It's wonderful! It's written as a text book, with chapter objectives, excercises, etc. There's even a companion web site with project files you can download to use in conjunction with the book..and if you are an instructor teaching with the book, there are additional instructor resources available online.

The graphics are good, the instructions are easy to follow, and each chapter teaches practical skills to help you master common tasks and projects. It's amazingly fun and easy to use.

Book Description

Joyce Kennedy mixes her father's World War I war-front diary and letters with rich documentation from official and scholarly sources. She has created an expressive, emotion-packed history full of the brutality of war. Although thousands of books have been written on World War I, most give little insight into the major role that Canada played in the conflict understandable, perhaps, because Canada was a British colony and her exploits and casualties were most often included under British Empire statistics.

Distant Thunder offers a fresh perspective on that seminal event of the 20th century, noting the extraordinary contributions made by the fledgling Canadian nation. The book has been written, says the author, to capture the attention of those who normally are not interested in war or things military, avoiding the pitfalls of excessive military terminology and detail, yet bolstered with careful footnote citation.

Joyce Kennedy comes to her subject with passion, respect, and awe. Distant Thunder ably captures that passion . . . you won't put it down!

Customer Reviews:

Fascinating and Documented.......2001-10-01

This is a fasinating and gripping history of Canadian involvement in WW 1. Having visited Vimy, Mons, Bruge and Verdun in the 1950s, her book, encouraged me to make a return visit which I did on July 1 2001 for local celebrations.It is must reading for Canadians and necessary forothers who want a complete picture of WW 1. Mixing in her father's letters and journals with the history gives the reader a very close sense of presence at the battles. It has made me check out my relatives who also were in WW 1. It is especially poignant given the present state of world tensions.

A superb contribution to World War I studies........2000-08-06

Robert James Kennedy served with the 2nd Battery, 1st Artillery Brigade during World War I and saw action on the battlefields of every major operation involving the Canadian Expeditionary Force until he was wounded in August 1917 from a direct hit on his gun pit. Kennedy was present at St. Julien during the first gas attack in 1915, and was mentioned in dispatches "For gallant and distinguished service in the field" in April 1917 during the Battle of Vimy Ridge. In October 1917, Kennedy was sent back to Canada as a result of his wounds. During the course of his battlefield service, Kennedy wrote in his diaries which, along with his letters home, are the basis for Distant Thunder: Canada's Citizen Soldiers On The Western Front. Joyce Kennedy is the daughter of Robert Kennedy and has enhanced her father's writings with period battlefield photographs and maps. Distant Thunder is a superb contribution to the growing body of World War I literature and highly recommended for personal, academic, and community library military history collections.

A true Canadian story told by the words of a true Canadian.......2000-06-16

Distant Thunder tells the truth behind the real contribution that Canadians made in the First Great War. The book shows that even though Canada's great contribution, the nation was never praised for the blood and men it drained on the trench lines in the heart of Europe. It shows the true determination and grit of the men fighting there and it is told in a very easy to follow and understandable way. Since I am a Canadian, I can relate to the story. A true Canadian story that could never be told but now is there for anyone to read.
