Summary: Advanced Adobe Pagemaker Tutorials
Comment: Advanced Adobe Pagemaker

With the Adobe Classroom in a Book series, a set of tutorials are given, supplemented with a CD, that one can work through. These lessons are excellent; they take you through the basic features of the program by actually doing it with step by step instruction.

After one has done the series of lessons, it is never quite so easy when one goes to put together a similar document on one's own. The problem is that you don't know enough of the intricacies or theory behind the program to be able to make possible choices. And your materials are not all gathered and placed in such an ordered manner as they are on the lesson disks. In other words, one requires a more advanced set of lessons or instruction. In the case of Photoshop, the Certification Guide, another set of more advanced lessons fulfills that need admirably.

One requires a similar setup for Pagemaker. This book, entitled as Advanced Adobe Pagemaker looks like exactly what one would want. However, this is misleading. There is a Classroom in a Book for Pagemaker 6.5. For some reason, on the Advanced Pagemaker, the number is not given. In fact, it is for Pagemaker 6. Therefore one feels that it still might be useful. However, this is not an advanced Pagemaker. In fact, it consists of 8 tutorials, (Classroom in a Book has 10) and 4 out of the eight are the same as Classroom in a Book. Some of the others in Classroom in a Book are better than the tutorials in the Advanced Pagemaker.

In other words, the title is somewhat misleading. This is really an earlier version of the Classroom in a Book series and not an advanced Pagemaker tutorial that would enhance your Classroom in a Book Pagemaker knowledge.

I think there is a need for an advanced set of tutorials in this area as so much of the material is "ready"-imported for them and the programme is complex. This book looks like what one would want from its title but it does not fulfil the expectations set up by the title.

Other than that, the lessons in themselves may be perfectly useful although the Classroom in a Book publication tutorials are more considered and useful.
