Love the Bible series:
I own the photoshop 7, Dreamweaver 8, Flash 8, and a few others from this series. It may be too in-depth for some novices, but if you really want to learn a lot about the product and are willing to take the time to read it, they do very well. The sample projects give some good hands-on experience, and a companion CD is always nice.
Dreamweaver 8 Bible:
The areas I needed to refer to were in this book. The book has a lot of words that I feel could be omitted without hurting the content or conveying the information. I would give the book a 5 star rating if it has a lot less words.
good comprehensive book:
this is a good book to get a great background on DW8 and understand creating websites. If you don't have any background in HTML or webpages, the size of the book may overwhelm you but I found it very useful to get a comprehensive understanding of DW. It helped my to get concepts correct. The examples were broken on my CD but after a little playing around, I got them to work.
