Críticas

"Book Design Made Simple fills a huge void in the graphic arts and indie publishing bookshelf. Classic books on book design are fine for design students, but usually have little relation to what we do in today's digital world. What indie authors have wanted--and what they keep asking me for--is step by step instruction in creating industry standard books with today's tools and for today's book production requirements. That's what Book Design Made Simple delivers, and it does so beautifully. But this book is much more than that. Book Design Made Simple is more than an explanation of how to design and produce a book, it's virtually a course in self-publishing, too. Starting with getting the InDesign software and proceeding through the basic steps to become a publisher, the authors lead readers by the hand through the process. The tone of the book is helpful and encouraging throughout. Detailed instructions are provided on just about every task you might run into in creating a trade book with InDesign." -- TheBookDesigner.com/blog/2016-07/BDMS

"What sets Book Design Made Simple apart is its unique combination of publication design fundamentals and detailed InDesign tutorial. There are lots of general graphic design books, lots of publication design books, and lots of InDesign tutorials and guides. But, until now, there hasn't been a single volume that perfectly addresses the needs of graphic professionals who want to take full advantage of InDesign's ability to produce better-looking, easier-to-read books as efficiently as possible. It contains over 400 pages of design tips, InDesign commands, and features." -- Content Marketing Institute
