Books and supplies for InDesign

Once I had to learn InDesign. And, believe it or not, managed to do it from scratch in 4 hours =)
\r
Built-in help.
\r
Download in PDF from Adobe: help.adobe.com/en_US/indesign/cs/using/indesign_cs5_help.pdf
\r
It's not just help, but this particular Tome at 800 pages. In almost every Chapter there are links to the video (from Linda or not, do not know).
\r
First a few General heads just a quick read, and the rest (specific) — selectively on the contents that it was interested in. Well, after a couple of times to get there along the way if there are any questions.

About InDesign there is a wonderful video course from Lynda.com.

Yes, help is enough; it is much easier at random (buttons in most cases speak for themselves ;) ), and where I need to find something specific — Wellcome to help.
\r
Another question — why to draw and even more to prototypicality in inDesign? This publishing system, books journals to impose, diplomas there any... the Most of his opportunities on the layout of the text on the web is simply unavailable (and even хтмл5 and цсс3 here will not be saved).
\r
I prepare the layout in Illustrator, because every vector rounded rectangles-squares there is much easier to do than in photoshop, and each raster (icons, etc.) link to a file and edited outside already in the shop.
To prototypicality — again — easier to balsamiq (easier) or in ms expression blend (more features)...

Very open-minded experience of quark went for the basics on intuit.ru. There video quite thoroughly, and cognitive. Of the supplements — saw the rutreker a book on hockey (search for "indesign", certainly), can also help.
