Pages, surprisingly, does not include a user manual. There is a guide that shows off what Pages can do, but it often lacks an explanation to do it. iPad Pages is a minimalistic version of the one found on desktop and laptop computers; there are plenty of features you'll be familiar with, but where they are at and how exactly the work in a touch interface can be tricky.

The only way to really get the most out of Pages is to play with it, and get used to the unique interface; to help you get started, however, this book will show you the basic features, how they work in a touch interface, and how to get the most out of the small, but powerful, application

The book is broken down into eight chapters. The first half of the book will cover basic editing and style features of Pages for the iPad; the second half of the book will show the more advance media features that help make users create professional looking documents that stand out.

An index is included at the end of the book to help readers find what they are looking for.
