Graphically Enhanced Manuals

A different type of manuals - the visual approach

Hi, my name is Edgar Rothermich, author of the best-selling book series  

“Graphically Enhanced Manuals (GEM)”.

Graphically Enhanced Manuals are a different type of manual with a visual approach that helps you UNDERSTAND an application, not just LEARN it. No need to read through 500 of pages of dry text explanations. Rich graphics and diagrams help you to get that "aha" effect and make it easy to comprehend difficult concepts. The Graphically Enhanced Manuals let you master a program much faster with a much deeper understanding of concepts, features and workflows in a very intuitive way that is easy to understand.

The GEM Advantage

Graphics, Graphics, Graphics

Every feature and concept is explained with rich graphics and illustrations that are not found in any other book or documentation. These are not just a few screenshots with arrows in it. I take the time to create unique diagrams to illustrate the concepts and workflows.

For Beginners and Advanced Users

The graphical approach makes my manuals easy to understand for beginners, but still, the wealth of information and details provide plenty of material, even for the most advanced user.

Comprehensive

For any given feature, I list every available command so you can decide which one to use in your workflow. Some of the information is not even found in the app's documentation.

Knowledge and Understanding

The purpose of my manuals is to provide the reader with the knowledge and understanding of an app that is much more valuable than just listing and explaining a set of features.

Multiple Book Formats

The manuals are available in multiple formats: PDF (from this website), iBooks (on Apple's Book Store), Kindle, and printed books (on Amazon).
