Susan Oakes Susan is a reader from Lake Grove, NY, who writes: [Quote] I am currently doing an academic project in InDesign, and this will help a lot! I hope to be able to convince my college, where I teach Graphic Design, to get abord the InDesign train. Also, I've met David Blatner at a seminar on InDesign and he is not only a wealth of knowledge, but a really nice guy! [End Quote]
And, thank YOU, Susan... we're glad you're on board! Susan wins the InDesign for QuarkXPress Users Book from Peachpit

Max Gilbert -- Max is Tourism Division Artist for Little Rock, Arkansas, who writes: [Quote] Most the staffers who must proof my publication art are non-designers. A Non-Designers Design book would be an educational source to help relate a lot of good background knowledge to hopefully make our communications flow smoother. [End Quote]
Good going, Max... we'll send out The Non-Designer's Design Book from Peachpit right away!

Catarina Telendyl-Schneider Catarina is a reader from Valrico, Fl, who writes: [Quote] I would love to learn more ways of using Photoshop than just fixing or restoring photos. I would love to learn how to take a black and white picture and color, while making it look like it was painted. Learning new things and techniques is what makes life more interesting and entertaining. I feel great about myself when I accomplish something new. [End Quote]
Now Catarina, start shooting... your Photoshop 7 Killer Tips from Peachpit Press will be arriving any day!

Jonathan Blocher Jonathan is an educator from Burlington, WI, who writes: [Quote] I teach art and graphic design in a high school. When I began teaching digital painting in Photoshop last year, the students came alive with enthusiasm. I'm sure that if I could teach them some natural media techniques in Painter, they would burst with creative projects. I've used Robin Williams books for years and always see dramatic improvement among my students' designs. We've added teachers to the department, and they need their own copies! [End Quote]
So Jonathan gets his wish... The Painter 8 Wow! Book is on its way to him now!
