Summary: Good but flawed; spend a little extra and get a better text.
Comment: This is basically a good text, but it covers little that is not contained in Dreamweaver 3's tutorial. However, the book has two significant flaws beyond that which turn my recommendation to a 'don't buy.'
First, the text makes frequent reference to an 'online companion' web site. This site is said to contain a great deal of the real 'meat' of using Dreamweaver. As of this review (some four months after publication), the site is still 'under construction.' As such, there is significant information simply not available.
Second, the final chapter on how to use the FTP Client built into Dreamweaver is horrible! Little information is given about this critical step.
I suggest, in light of the fact that most of the information in this book is readily available in Dreamweavers help files and tutorial, that you give it a 'pass' and spend a little extra for a better text. A good starting place would be the 'bible' series.

Summary: I still use it
Comment: J. Tarin Tower's VQSG for DW3 is amazing. I'm a novice at web design / authoring and when I picked up this book, I was able to build a professional site in no time. I literally built my first site WHILE I was reading this book. The detailed, step-by-step instructions on each part of this incredible web development tool made it easy to understand and put to use. I highly recomend anyone new to web development and Dreamweaver to buy this book. It's cheap, but the knowledge you will recieve is priceless.

Summary: For beginners....
Comment: When I bought this book I knew nothing about Dreamweaver. However, by the time the book arrived, I had been playing around with the program and already knew 95% of the stuff featured in the book and have hardly used it. I would recommend this book to someone extremely unfamilar with Dreamweaver and plans to use this book as reference.
