Summary: Too bad Ventana got hold of it!
Comment: This book is a solid presentation on print design principles and techniques with great examples -- it has been since Parker's first edition. The CD-ROM is falsely advertised as providing "examples, templates, tips and shareware." It has some marginal shareware and overdone advertising for Ventana, period. STRONGLY recommend keeping the older editions.

Summary: Good book, faulty CD-ROM
Comment: I found this book unused in one of our offices. Apparently purchased a couple of years ago. The content was good to great, many of the ideas are common knowledge to an experienced designer but it's good to have it put all together in one place.

Unfortunately the CD-ROM contained only its Windows files and all the Mac content was missing. I wonder if this is the case with all of the first printing ? This is not new to me. I have found other CD-ROMs that claim to have Mac files as well as PC files but somewhere during the production process the Mac stuff gets lost. From my studio, I produce for both platforms and find it hard to believe that more care isn't taken by some publishers.

So then, in conclusion... the book is a solid piece of work. Hopefully the cross platform clitch was fixed in the new edition.

Summary: Excellent book of all the printing ins and outs
Comment: This book is a must-have for all designers. Expert to Novice can find information you need to make sure your project looks as good in print as it does on the screen.
