    I would highly recommend this course to anyone with intermediate skills in InDesign who wants to learn how to design and lay out a book, or expand their capabilities in that area. His formatting methods are rock-solid. His problem solving strategies are extensive, useful and inspiring. I wish I had taken this course before I started doing interior book layout.
