Editorial Review:With its ever tightening integration with Adobe's full suite of creative products and its own increasingly sophisticated feature set, InDesign is winning legions of Quark and Framemaker converts. If you're among them--or if you've decided to sidestep those programs altogether--you need this book! In these pages, the Adobe Creative Team uses a series of project-based lessons, tested in the company's own classrooms and labs, to provide a thorough grounding in the InDesign school of page design. You'll find step-by-step lessons in InDesign CS fundamentals plus plenty of the advanced tips and techniques you need to take your page designs to the next level. The workbook-style format includes self-paced lessons followed by review questions to reinforce the knowledge and a CD with all of the files required to complete the book's projects. Throughout, special focus is given to the features new to InDesign CS: an updated Story Editor, nested styles, separation previews, the Package for GoLive command, and more.

I am teaching myself InDesign; have no background in this type of software. This book is an excellent "teacher." I highly recommend it.
Rating: - Great step by step guide.
This book is highly recommended. We are using it as our class room text book. I have version CS3 and still find the book very helpful (However I would probably buy the CS3 edition if I had a choice.)

the confusing title "InDesign CS" should be "InDesign CS (version1)" to make clear that it's not for CS2
Rating:  - Good for the Basics
This is not a comprehensive tutorial to InDesign CS but it is a thorough introduction. The lessons are thoughtfully arranged and build upon each other and do a good job of teaching the basics but the treatment is not thorough and neither is it comprehensive. There is still much to learn. The book is helped by the inclusion of a CD which contains the needed files to complete the exercises.
The big problem is that InDesign CS is such a complex program. It is not going to be taught simply and ... Read More
Rating: - Next Best Thing To Being There...
New software, especially something as daunting as InDesign, can often intimidate a user. 'Classroom in a Book' is amazingly easy to use and answers the vast majority of questions that typically arise when one is struggling to master something as complex as this Adobe program.
I highly recommend this book as a step-by-step means to achieving an amazing degree of competence in formatting documents of any length and complexity.
