Rural diners used to post signs promising "Sudden Service." Some probably still do. This book is intended to offer much the same thing: quick access to help you get an immediate job done using iWork for the iPad. You can read it end to end. But you'll often find it more useful as a handy reference to help you get the most from the iPad versions of Pages, Numbers, and Keynote. Check the Contents for the job you need to do; then, you can jump directly to that section. Cross-references lead you to other helpful information.
