In school I learned Quark and InDesign, then used InDesign at the newspaper I worked for, then used Quark while working at Random House and now it's back to InDesign and I had to relearn what I once knew. This book was helpful since there were some things I only knew how to do in Quark and needed to translate over. For the record, InDesign is boundlessly superior to Quark. Now I can move between the two programs pretty seamlessly. Except for the command E and command D functions. I always f*ck those up.
