I got this book through an inter-library loan and had no idea what it was like until I brought it home. A couple of minutes of flipping through it was enough to make me realize that this was not a book that I wanted to waste time reading. I really detest books that are arranged in a dictionary format. Didn't the author and publisher ever come across the concept of an index?

There on the cover it read More Information about Dreamweaver Than Some Full-Sized Books - but I really doubt it. At 8.4 x 5.5 inches this book is small and the information content is small. The material is represented in alphabetical dictionary format but you really would not want to use it as a refrence book. It although the book does not get technical it is not really presented in a format for beginners to Dreamweaver.

It claims to have descriptions of more than 300 terms and tasks but a beginner needs more than a book about memorizing keystrokes and terms. They need a book that presents concepts instead of memorizing keys and terms.

The upside .... it took no more time to read than a cup of coffee at the corners shop.

A white and yellow pages phonebook will always have more information than my personal phonebook. Doesn't make it any more useful than my own. It is all in how it is presented.

This is a very easy to use reference for the Dreamweaver 4 software. Heather writes books that any person with a basic computer knowledge can understand. You don't have to be a rocket scientist!
