About the Author

Galen Gruman has been doing production of newspapers, magazines, and books for about 35 years, having caught the layout and production bug from his junior high school newspaper. He was involved in one of the first desktop publishing efforts of a national publication in the early 1980s and has reviewed desktop publishing software for both InfoWorld (IDG Enterprise) and Macworld (Mac Publishing) until the late 1990s. Since 1990, hes co-authored or written a series of how-to books for the publisher of this book, John Wiley & Sons, for most of the major layout programs of their eras: PageMaker, QuarkXPress, and InDesign. Gruman has also been doing some website coding and production over the last decade and has produced e-books for Wiley in the more recent years, in addition to his day job as the InfoWorld.com websites executive editor. iBooks Author represents the next wave of publishing, so of course he had to learn and teach this tool, as well.
