This week Packt published the Scribus 1.3.5 beginner&rsquo;s guide, covering Scribus 1.3.5, which means its content is applicable to Scribus 1.3.6–1.4+ as well. The Beginner&rsquo;s Guide, which is 316 pages long, is a step-by-step guide that employs interesting examples and many screenshots. The book can help you create visually pleasing documents of excellent output quality without having to learn the hundreds of options and features available in Scribus. The book is available in print and as an eBook. About the author Cedric G&eacute;my is a French freelance graphic designer and an experienced lecturer of graphic design.
