Re: Books to learn Adobe InDesign

["Henry J. Wicko II" <henry -dot- wicko -at- gmail -dot- com>]

 Jessica,

Here are some online browsing materials to look at:

http://www.indesignusergroup.com/

http://www.layersmagazine.com/category/indesign/

www.lynda.com

Check the Adobe site as well, there is a CS3 turorials page there for thier
latest release.  I'd provide the link, but I can't find it.

HTH.

Henry
