Summary: Finally, a good resource!
Review: More detail than any other resource I've read. Glad someone finally clued into what I really needed.

Summary: Useful, but not meeting expectations
Review: The other reviewers have done a fine job, and I do recommend the book, but my expectations were not completely met.Firstly, it has a lot of repetition, which makes for a physically large book. Maybe this is good for learning for some, but I found it a little annoying.
Second, the examples are a little theoretical.
Finally the CDROM is a disappointment. Here is why 1. It includes "Woody's Office Power Pack 2003", which ONLY works with Office 2003, not XP or earlier. You have to pay for the earlier versions. No value to me, as I am an XP user. 2. The examples from the book are "buggy", and so far, I've not found them to work as advertised. 3. The so-called "software library" is only for trialware - 30 days max. The sort of thing you can download off the web anyway, so no added value here. 4. The graphics library is very small and limited when compared with other online sources - again, no added value 5. The remainder of the CDROM is simply advertising, with one valuable exception. It has a complete copy of the book in PDF form, which is great for searching out references to subjects. Make sure you have the latest Adobe Reader. I would not bother to try reading the manual on my computer screen, but use Reader to find the right pages and go to the paper copy. But that's the only item of value that I have found on the CDROM. I'm glad I have the book, but don't expect much from the CDROM. The claims of $ value on the CDROM are a little optimistic.

Summary: Not the only book you'll need
Review: This book is more of a presentation on what Microsoft FrontPage 2003 CAN do and less of a helpful book about HOW to use FrontPage. It's touted as the "the only FrontPage 2003 book you need" but a beginner like me would be better served by buying a step-by-step instruction book.

Summary: Glad I Bought This One
Review: This is a great book. Not only did this book give me all of the information I needed on FrontPage (including a lot of tips and tweaks I couldn't find anywhere else), it also earned a spot on my reference bookshelf. One of my favorite features of the book is the browser compatibility information for all of the FrontPage 2003 behaviors. I can see at a glance whether I'll have trouble in a particular browser. This book also goes into great detail on administering a FrontPage Web site. I finally understand the server extensions and how to manage them. Highly recommended.

Summary: Not so great
Review: This was my first FrontPage book and I was disappointed. My opinion is that Author has not found the important issues of the subjects. For example in the Tables section his consentrated to changing border colors etc. but doesn't tell how to work effectively with the tables (spacer gif etc.). He also keeps praising his own web-site which is annoying to me.
He has also 100% forgotten Search Engines (=search engine optimization) when he discuss the pros and cons of the different methods.
