He says, "On break, I traveled all over. On the island of Hokkaidô in Sapporo they have these wonderful Ice Festivals. My favorite thing about spring was the Cherry Blossom Festival.

1.0 out of 5 stars I wish I never bought this book!, August 16, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Web Publishing Unleashed: Professional Reference (Hardcover)
If I could give this book a lower rating than one star, I would. I made the mistake of following the reviews on this page, so I'd like to set the record straight. To call this book a professional reference is a joke, it is padded out with chapters on using such 'professional' software as Netscape Navigator Gold and Microsoft Internet Assistants. The first and last time I opened this book was on the day it arrived 6mths ago. Any worthwhile content is surrounded by junk and makes the book completely unwieldy. If you know nothing about web publishing, you may gain an education from this book but before you finish it you too will be looking for something lighter to lift but heavier on serious content! I can't get rid of this book soon enough. Buy the HTML Sourcebook (Graham) instead - but you serious developers already know to do that anyway....

5.0 out of 5 stars one of the best resources I've ever encountered., January 29, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Web Publishing Unleashed: Professional Reference (Hardcover)
this book is the sum of all knowlage about Web Publishing and site management. this book delves into mysteries from how to use HTML to how to get those pages to load faster and easier... and more. I use this book as a self-study reference and I have learned more than I would have had I taken a formal course on web publishing.

1.0 out of 5 stars Wasted Time & Money, July 19, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Web Publishing Unleashed: Professional Reference (Hardcover)
If you've got plenty of both to waste then buy this book. But I strongly suggest you check this title out at your local bookstore or library before spending your hard earned money. This book was outdated long ago and contains many errors. This author writes terribly. This publisher needs to employ a good editor. I suspect the raves are fallacious and a ruse. Amazon should investigate why a title that has not been on their computer best seller list for ages has so many more reviews than other more well proven titles, as allowing this nonsense to continue impeaches their credibility considerably.
