Summary: You can do better than this book.
Comment: For about the same the money, I would recommend purchasing the Janine Warner book, "Dreamweaver for Dummies." Mr. Towers was among the first to make available a Dreamweaver user's guide. However, being first is not always the same as being best. This QuickStart Guide is largely a recapitulation of the Dreamweaver help files. An expert user would find such a book to be superfluous, while a novice would need better prose to help them understand the concepts. Of course, the best book available on this subject is the Dreamweaver Bible. The DW Bible is well written and comprehensive. Worth the extra money.

Summary: Nice Overview and Explanations
Comment: I was very pleased with this book. For a low cost, it provides you with a comprehensive explanation of Dreamweaver's capabilities and how to achieve the effects you want. As the title suggests, you get excellent pictures to help explain the concepts.
I found the book to be well organized. J. Tarin Towers avoids repetitiveness and babbling and gets right to the point. Once you complete the book, it acts as a nice reference to quickly look something up - should you forget.
The book even teaches you some HTML as it goes along. So if you're unfamiliar with some HTML commands, you'll get help from the author so you'll know what is going on. However, I wouldn't rely simply on this book if you're completely new to HTML.
My only complaint about this book is the online appendix. You are required to go to this book's complimentary website in order to get information on the following 3 things: The Image Map Editor, Roundtrip HTML, and Browser Compatibility. Why not just include them with the book? Some of those things seem odd to include in an appendix, too (e.g., include the image map section with the chapter on Working with Images). The whole website ordeal seemed suspicious to me.
Despite the quirks with the appendices, I found this book to be quite informative. It goes through and explains Dreamweaver's functions successfully and quickly. Let's face it, you don't want to bore yourself reading a book 2 inches thick on how to use a fairly simple program. You want to quickly get through a no nonsense book and actually use the program. And for that, The Dreamweaver Visual Quickstart is what you need.
