Summary: Great Book. NOT!!
Comment: I had just finished learning FrontPage 2000 through the use of a wonderful book called "Create FrontPage 2000 Web Pages In A Weekend". I had my web site ready, well, in a weekend and thought now was a good time to create some graphics. I turned, with some anticipation, to "Teach Yourself Paint Shop Pro 7 in 24 Hours". What a disappointment!
I found 3 pretty obvious errors within the first couple of hours. Also, the author assumes that you can read his mind and therefore does not provide adequate explanations during the "Tutorials" (and I use the term loosely). I consider myself a fairly intuitive student, and I was able to get through the book. I've learned how to use the software, not because of this book but in spite of it.
Would I recommend this book? Under two conditions. One, the person using the book has an infinite amount of patience and has a logical mind. Those are the only qualities that will enable you to get through this book. For example, you have to be willing to do some investigation to understand what the author means when he throws a term such as "stroke" color at you without any prior explanation or definition. Two, if there was not a better book out there. And there are two others, "Paint Shop Pro 7 for Dummies" and "The Complete Idiots Guide to Paint Shop Pro 7". So, with these two solid selections available, avoid SAMS "Teach Yourself Paint Shop Proj 7 in 24 Hours". You'll be much happier and much less frustrated.

Summary: Is this one of those "based-on-the-beta-release" books?
Comment: I found this book on the bargain rack for half it's cover price...It still wasn't worth it. During the step-by-step the author skips steps. When he says to click an option, it isn't there. He may be referring to the bar menu choices, the right-click choices or PSPs "exploding window" choices, but you are not going to know. Anybody want to buy a slightly-used PSP book?...You can't have mine - I threw it in the trash.

Summary: Just Not Good.
Comment: I have used Sams Teach Yourself series (5 books) and have been satisfied for the most part. This book however leaves ALOT to be desired!! I might just be me...but as a reader I expect to be reminded where items are as I go through the book. This book explains what the buttons are in the first chapter...by the time I get to chapter 3 or 4 I have forgotten most of the 20+ buttons and options described in Chapter 1. Every chapter after gives the name of the button, but not an illustration of it. Also the author leaves you guessing about buttons and menu items since he does not mention which is which. Sorry, but this one can't cut it...I'm returning it to BNB and getting Paint Shop Pro Web Graphics (Because of High Rating Here) to see if better written and explained.
