Title: Looking Good in Print, Fourth Edition by Roger C. Parker, Patrick Berry ISBN: 1566048567 Publisher: The Coriolis Group Pub. Date: 29 April, 1998 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $29.99 |

Summary: An apt title for a very serious book.
Comment: If you find yourself smack-dab in the middle of a job requiring that you produce professional-looking documents, especially with a real professional printer (not just a laserjet), and you have no education or experience, this book is for you. It explains clearly--and at length--the process of creating and producing printed materials. It gives you the vocabulary for different kinds of graphic elements and typography, helps explain the mechanics of printing presses and inks, and gives lots of good suggestions for attractive layouts. I found the section on working with photographs particularly helpful.
There's a lot of overlap with Robin Williams's "non-designer" series (because they're both about solid graphic design), but this one goes a bit further in some respects, even it it's a bit heavier and not as much fun as hers.
I liked the Non-Designer books better, but this one's great, too. All in all, a very fine addition to your library if you're trying to teach yourself graphic design quickly, and you don't have people standing around just waiting to answer your questions.

Summary: If You Only Have One
Comment: On the cover of this fine book is a blurb from the NY Times saying "If you have only enough money for one DTP book, buy this one," paraphrased, of course. The emphasis should be if you only have ONE. If you have any of Robin Williams' books or a Classroom in a Book, Parker's book will only be a re-hash of that. So, if you don't have a good DTP book, this is the book for you. If you have anyother reasonably good DTP book, this will just be the same stuff.

Summary: Beginner's Material
Comment: There is little depth to this text. However, It might be a fine introductory selection for someone who knows little to nothing about the subject. For those better versed, skip it.
One annoying thing about the book is: The design in the book itself is lame. It also deals with sample design solution that are, you guessed it, lame.
This book is the ideal choice of a local newsletter layout-master.
