I really like this book....:
I'm only about a 1/4 through this book and I have to say I've learned a lot of valuable information.

Great for adding special features...:
This book is really great if you'd like to add a few special features like photo albums, pop-up frames, etc. It explains how to configure them in plain english, and gives examples to practice.

Great book to kickstart your website!:
This is a great book if you are computer savvy, but not Dreamweaver savvy. It covers all the "how do they do that" topics, as well as the "hey, that's cool" topics. If you are going to build a website, buy this book!
