As a graphic designer, I did not always have time to learn the ins and outs of InDesign. Too much time spent producing, too little spent learning; I am sure that many designers out there are familiar with that. In front of me are Blatner's and Kvern's volumes for InDesign CS2, CS3, CS4, and now CS5. What is so great about Real World InDesign CS5 is that it serves as a quick reference for whenever you are blocked with any specific feature.
Also, a great deal of learning the application comes from just browsing the book, randomly turning pages, and being surprised up of authors.
Notice how I never once mentioned that you should read the book cover to cover (more than 800 pages). My secret for using this book? Well, it's the 60 page index in the end. It has never failed to direct me to the information I needed to solve a problem, or to learn about a feature.
