If you read this book while in bed, it will put you right to sleep. But if you want a good reference book to assist you with FrontPage, it's great. If it doesn't answer your question it will at least lead you down the right path to get it answered.

Only book you will need for FrontPage 2003 - 2007-07-20

I have found this book to be very useful and easy to use. I have an Information Systems Degree but am new to Front Page. This book is great for newcomers as well as experienced users.

The only FrontPage Book I'll Need? Hah!!! - 2007-05-01

The one thing they forgot to include was a bottle of Advil. What a pain to try to follow. I wanted to learn some cool new tricks to build my own sites but I would have to be a super techno geek to really delve into this book. I guess it's OK for reference but not as a How To book especially for novice-amateur users. I think I am better served just buying a template and tweaking that instead of trying to build from scratch.

Much information but hard to follow. Sends you to another page for details on a subject, then that page sends you to another (or, in at least 2 cases, sends you back to the original page.

Good book, but I really needed something more basic. Not the book's fault, it's my fault.
