Dan— Depends on what program you're using, i.e. WdPf, Pmaker or VP — everyone on those fora is very helpful, and it's the best place to start. Parker's Looking Good in Print is worthwhile, also Jan White's Graphic Design for the Electronic Age. Will-Harris, WdPf5: Desktop Publishing In Style is excellent, regardless of your program. My favorite is Alex Brown, In Print, which teaches you a lot about typography as well. Then there are various special publications: Personal Publishing and Publish! are both worth reading on a regular basis. But the most important thing is to get up/running and start making mistakes and learning from them (I've been dtping for about a year, VP for the last 4 mos.). ^^^robert
