Graphics in Indesign

This is a teaser for my new book "Practical, Professional Self-Publishing Handbook". It is also a major upgrade to the graphics and cover design appendixes in "Writing in InDesign" done in CC. It solves a major problem for new self-publishers: how do I do the graphics? Authors and designers using InDesign to design books are often not aware that InDesign is the replacement for FreeHand as far as drawing is concerned. In many ways, it works better for typographic illustration than Illustrator. If you look at the cover of this book, it was all done in InDesign with a few paths brought in from FreeHand and stylized in InDesign. For book design, Photoshop and InDesign are usually enough, and commonly all you need is InDesign.
