This review is from: GoLive 5 For Dummies (Paperback)

After complaining to the publishers and sending a list of mistakes I found in the book, they agreed to refund my money and I also got a letter of apology from the author admiting that there were a lot of faults and that, indeed, it is a hurried rewrite of Golive 4 - great customer service, but sadly flawed book.

3.0 out of 5 stars I'm not so sure about this!, January 23, 2001

This review is from: GoLive 5 For Dummies (Paperback)

I have quite a few of the Dummies books and am now getting a bit tired of the wit for the sake of wit - the book could have been slimmer, and easier to get through, if they left out the puns. Titles like: "Ladies and gentlemen set your sites!", while amusing does not really help when you're flicking through the book trying to find sections to use with your web site "Creating a site" would have been more useful. Don't get me wrong, I have enjoyed the Photoshop books but this one seemed to hit a nerve. I also thought that it would have been better with a few more illustrations as there was far too much text to illustration ratio (the Peachpit Press books seem to have a good balance). I also found quite a few mistakes and wrote to Dummies about it. Definately not as clear as the usual Dummie books. Lastly, they show how to add a Quick Time file but not FLASH (which uses far less space on your site).

This review is from: GoLive 5 For Dummies (Paperback)

The dummies books are good until this one. It is difficult to start with golive but this book did not draw the pieces together so to speak. It was cofusingly written. In some cases, you can actually do the same commands etc in different ways and this book listed them in many different places instead of bringing them together. Also try to look up some in the index and I could not find them. Too much text and not enough visuals. I was to own it but sent it back as I was pretty disgusted with the book and the haphazardly written approach. ...
