Summary: Adobe Acrobat 5.0 Classroom in A Book
Comment: I am an Adobe Certified Expert in Acrobat 5.0 and an Instructor. Acrobat one of the most versatile programs ever developed. AA5CIB has helpful exercises for essentially any use of the program. If you can not attend a course taught by someone that works extensively with the product, this is the next best way to learn the product.
Rating: 4
Summary: Good introductory book. But some limitations.
Comment: Rating reflects book's overall very good statute given clear, enjoyable, efficient organization and writting combined with moderate price and numerous examples included with the CD-ROM. These strengths are however offset by its limited scope, its introductory level, its lack of critical analyses and its somewhat boring follow-step-by-step approach.

Classroom in a book is here because Adobe online 'help' is so poorly organized, so redundant and confusing that is makes it hardly useable. (Adobe has also to sell its books!)
This book, like all other 'Classroom in a book' is very clear, well designed, easy to understand and follow. It gives very pratical guidance through lessons whose elements are on the CD-ROM. With it, all essential elements for web design (entering text, creating tables, inserting pics etc.) are immediately accessible.
However, this book is introductory level only. Besides, it gives only answers to how to perform essential elements, i.e. descriptive approach, and doesn't discuss issues or indicates the best solution (critical, value-added approach).
Rating: 4
Summary: Good to get certified.
Comment: I would not necessarily recommend this book to someone breaking into the world of Web Design. While it does cover in depth the wide range of tools in GoLive, it doesn't explain which ones you would want to use when. Classroom in a Book can teach the basics, but the skill of knowing how to design, and what is appropriate compared to what is over the top, or browser incompatible are glossed over.
There is still an excellent use of this book. Adobe offers a certification program for most of its programs, including GoLive. The questions that are asked in the Certification are in many cases addressed in the Classroom in a Book. For the user who knows GoLive fairly well and wants certification, this book is essential. The chapters cover those small odds and ends you didn't know GoLive could do. The questions at each chapter end make for a great study guide for the A.C.E.
