 Disappointing April 12, 2008
Fishychips (San Francisco, CA USA)
I was greatly disappointed in this book. While there were a few interesting how-tos, I found most of the exercises mundane and designs mediocre. I would, instead recommend the How-to-Wow InDesign or the InDesign Cookbook if you're looking for a design oriented InDesign book (too true, not very many InDesign graphic design books out there, but plenty others if all you want to do are print/book and text heavy docs). Pass on this and take a looksee at the other two which I found inspiring, beautifully designed and well laid out - worth 5*.
 Wow! Great tricks! February 15, 2007

I had no idea that I could do some of these special with InDesign! The book is well written (even entertaining) and the instructions are easy to follow. And... when I had a question, I emailed the author (contact info. provided in the book) and he responded within 2 days!
"The InDesign Effects Book" January 22, 2007

"The InDesign Effects Book" is a "must have/must read/must follow" book for anyone who is now or wants to become a serious user of Adobe InDesign software. Did you know you can create not just page layouts but graphics in InDesign? Ted LoCasio's book gives easy to follow directions that will bring dazzling effects to your presentations.
Quick aside: The book's instructional sidebars (on almost every page) are worth their weight in gold!
BETTER THAN I EXPECTED March 28, 2006

This is my first indesign book and it is one of my favorites now, It is a visual and easy to follow book.
The author knows exactly what we are looking for to make our work better looking and to make it look very professional, you won't believe how easy is to do that, and having this book by your side is a great time saver. Ted Locascio (the author) also offers himself for you to write him for further assistance, but believe me you are not going to have a problem in my point of view it covers most of the great things you can do with indesign. Of coarse this are just ideas and your creativity has no limits.
Oh I also want to say that if you are getting started with indesign CS2 (this book works perfcetly for CS2) that if you want to practice first the author has his webpage where you can download the images.
Believe me this is worth to buy you will be surprised of how much effects with types and paragaraphs you can do.
Good book! January 23, 2006

I'd recommend this book, it reminds me of the Photoshop tips and tricks books out there. I have a few of those and thought this was an interesting take in that its Indesign. Its definitely not a layout instruction book or anything like a Bible how-to though. Its more a "fun things you can do in Indesign" thing. The coffee text effect - I forget what it's called - is really cool. I used it in a postcard I just did for a client. They loved it.
