I do not have the book from Scriptorium for Frame 8 but based on the
great
reviews it always gets here in this list, I strongly recommend it.
Everyone goes through a fairly long learning curve with Frame -
probably an
indication of how powerful it is. It took me several weeks to get
comfortable with it too (7.0) even with the help of a friend who had
been
using it for years.
Though it is undoubtedly better to get the newest book on Frame 8,
if you
can find a cheap copy of FrameMaker 7 - The Complete Reference (also
by
Sarah O'keefe), it is my current reference and so far has covered any
questions I have while trying to use Frame 9 (unstructured).
Hi everyone,
Thank you for the positive reviews of the book(s). I just wanted to
clarify the relationship among the various books.
FrameMaker 5.5.6 for Dummies. Pretty sure it's out of print/
unavailable. 350ish pages.
FrameMaker 7: The Complete Reference. Out of print. Published by
McGrawHill-Osborne. Covers structured and unstructured FrameMaker 7.
850ish pages.
Publishing Fundamentals: FrameMaker 7: Available as a PDF only.
Published by Scriptorium Press (that's us). Nearly identical
pagination to FrameMaker 7: TCR. Content is identical except for
corrections. http://www.scriptorium.com/books/publishing-fundamentals-framemaker-7
Publishing Fundamentals: Unstructured FrameMaker 8: Available as PDF
or print. Published by Scriptorium Press. Covers unstructured
FrameMaker 8. 736 pages. This is an updated version of the
unstructured FrameMaker content from PF: FM7. http://www.scriptorium.com/books/publishing-fundamentals-unstructured-framemaker-8
We planned, but due to weak sales of the unstructured book did not
publish, a Structured FrameMaker 8 companion. We do not currently have
a FM 9 edition, or plans to produce one.
Regards,
Sarah O'Keefe
