"Special Edition Using Office Microsoft FrontPage 2003"
This is a great book for starts with MS FrontPage. A great way to get started with HTML.

"Returned it"
I know my way around front page. I bought this book so that I could learn more. I found that it offered me nothing but hundreds of pages of text that really did nothing for someone like me who wanted to create a visully stimulating website.

I guess if you wanted to run a database or just wanted to use a template included in FP than the book would suffice. Anyone looking for ideas for creativity should look else where.

I sent it back to Amazon the next day. I am still looking for a book that gives me what I am looking for.

"Great addition, but not for beginners."
This is a great book if you know the basics of Frontpage 2003. This is not a beginners book, but an intermediate. Has alot of ways you can improve your site. I am always referring to it.

"The Book is OK, jumps around too much"
This book seemed to read more like a very nice help file, then a "using" book. I read the book chapter by chapter, what I wanted to do was just build a website. I got to the section "Enhancing your site with Frames", but the author recommended not to use frames, then gave three other alternatives each with See page x. What I am doing it jumping all over the book to figure out what the recommended way to lay out my page in Front Page 2003 (I still don't know). It is not very clear to me, because when I went to the alternative pages suggested for frames, it said use shadow boxes, with another disclaimer about shadow boxes were going to be done away with. Another suggestion was to use "link bars" which makes no sense at all. The book is filled with many "Hey, I didn't know that" stuff. I am a busy advanced user, and I can't imagine what a novice user must feel like reading this book. It is a good reference for FP 2003 if you know exactly what you are looking for. By reading this book, I am just not sure what the recommendations are for building a website, I found out what not to use. I does expand on several topics, but after reading the chapters, it is a bit shallow and seems to reference some of the same things. The book does not seem to just flow, or continue with the fact the user is trying to build a website. Instead, it gets off track, and covers too many subjects. I gave it 4 stars because there are a few features I can use the author wrote about in detail.

"I loved this book!!"
I am a first time web creater. I had a web site that needed to be updated. I did not have the money to pay for someone else to do it. So I bought frontpage and this book. Three weeks later I have a web site that I like. www.yourmakeupartist.com if you want to check it out. I thought this book did a great job of showing you how to do things. I have not used the cd-rom. I find that sort of learning annoying. Once you learn how to use tables, cells, and the layouts your all set. When I would come across a problem I would look it up and bam it worked. I still have some tweaking to do on my site. But I was very happy with this book. I also bought and returned the step by step book from microsoft. They must have outsourced the writing of the book.
