Summary: Great Buy!
Comment: I found this book extremely helpful. It was NOT a beginners book which is as it should be for an intermediate book. It is very detailed and well illustrated. I saw a review about the design elements. I happen to like the game design...design is in the eye of the beholder. After a long rant by the same reviewer, the book was recommended. I bought the book to better learn how to better use the program! And it succeeded in its purpose, plus I got some very useful design elements I can use along the way.
It appears this is this authors first book, taking that into consideration I think she did a superb job. Perfect? no, but not many are. I learned much more and more diverse things than in other books I've purchased. I like the idea that I learned everything I needed to complete a design. I look forward to more by this author. Oh, almost forgot, the movie tutorials were really helpful for some of the more complex tasks.
By the way, I did have a question and wrote the author and was shocked at the quick and very thorough and friendly response I got.
I highly reccomend this book to anyone that wants to expand on their Fireworks skills.

Summary: Got Me a Job!!
Comment: I was very thrilled with this book. What I particularly liked was the fact that it showed all parts of a website design. I was able to make mock websites including intuitive navigation and great looking designs using the techniques taught in this book. I put together a portfolio and landed my first web design job at a large firm.
The layout of the book is what I liked, it was very logical separating the vector from the bitmap. The designs were complete but separated by topic such as navigation or masks etc. Sure, I found some mistakes but nothing detrimental to my learning. One time I wrote the author and she replied very quickly and was very helpful offering additional advice and help. I was shocked at the fast and friendly response. So many times an author won't write back.
I recommend this book to anyone who is somewhat familiar with Fireworks and wants to explore the creative side of what the program can do.

Summary: Extremely helpful
Comment: I own Fireworks MX but purchased this book because of the many projects contained in it. I found the techniques to be very helpful and innovative. I learned more than enough to pay for the book and get me well on the way to working professionally with Fireworks. I mastered the Pen tool, using the Vector capabilities of Fireworks, making masks, optimizing, exporting and slicing as well as plenty of button ideas and interface designs.
Since Coriolis publisher is now out of business you can find this book at many discount bookstores as well as here at Amazon.com in the used section for practically nothing.
