Fun (and
good eating) at our open house
|
|
Thanks to everyone who
made our open house a smashing success! We enjoyed food
from Chef John's (especially the smoked salmon) and catching up
with clients and friends.

FrameMaker
for Dummies isn't just for dummies
|
|
Check out the FrameMaker
for Dummies review posted on December 14 at amazon.com.
The reviewer praises the book as "a solid, must-have book for beginner
and intermediate FrameMaker users" and provides a candid critique.
(And for the December 15 reviewer: information about creating a
new file is found on page 13.)
If you already own a
copy of the book, please go to amazon.com
and add your comments. We want to know what you think! If you don't
own a copy yet, visit our web
site for ordering
information or go to your local bookstore. If you'd like a signed
copy, you can pick it up at our office for $21 (including sales
tax) or we'll ship it anywhere in the U.S. for $25. Contact Sarah
for more info.
