I thought the book was very poorly written. First , it was disorganized and very difficult to understand, second, it did a very poor job of explaining anything. The author explained doing the to do list to death, but forgot to ever explain how to do a web page with front page. Later in the book he went to great length to explain the comands to use with certain things, without ever letting you know what those things did, and what it was he was talking about. After I read it and learned nothing, I loaned it to a friend who is very up on computers, and wanted to learn Front Page. He gave it back a few hours later and said he couldn't understand what the author was talking about.

The book reads well, and does teach well, but I was very disappointed with the contents of the CDrom that came with it since it had only a few pictures in it and trivial templates. Not cool templates. I went to their web site and found an empty shell created by running the FrontPage wizard and then letting it die there. If it wasn't that the tips & tricks section of the book was so worth $30 dollars to me I would say the book was a false front, but I also see value in it as a reference. Hot & cold review I know, but still it comes out an 8
