It’s hard to say which book would be the best choice if you could only own one desktop publishing reference, but Looking Good In Print is definitely in the running. You will be inspired and can get some interesting ideas on new designs just by looking at the examples shown throughout the book.
If you look closer, you’ll find a wealth of information about how to organize a publication so the reader gets the message quickly and easily. The authors discuss the proper use of elements such as white space, typefaces, illustrations, and color. The techniques and concepts presented are relevant to all types and lengths of publications.
While not everyone will read this book from cover to cover, it’s a great reference that can quickly provide information on an as-needed basis. It’s a “must have” for any serious publisher’s library.
