Summary: Deeper than I ever thought it would be
Comment: I expected a "beginner" book to just cover the basics. But this book went far beyond what I expected.
The author has all sorts of background stuff on using Web-safe colors (not that important), optimiziing GIFs (throw away extra colors), and slicing images (keep the number of slices down).
There are several sections on using Fireworks with Dreamweaver, Flash, and even Director.
This book went into more depth than some of the $$$ color books out there.
The book is great -- small enough that I can stuff it in my jacket pocket and take it with me to my freelance job. (Oh yeah, I got the book cause I used Photoshop at home but got a freelance job where they use only Fireworks. I just may switch now that I see how cool the program is.)

Summary: Wonderful start
Comment: I wanted to learn Fireworks quickly so I purchased this book. It was much more than expected. I didn't expect a beginners book or a quick start book to teach everything. But this book was succinct and to the point. I was able to get a grasp quickly and move on to a design type book which emphasized the creative aspects of Fireworks in more detatil. Hand in Hand with the Fireworks 4 f/x and Design book, I was able to increase my Fireworks skills tremendously. I'd highly recommend both books used in tandem if you are a beginner.
There are plenty of tips and notes along the way as well as some Photoshop differences to ease the transition for Photoshop users. Since using Fireworks, I now want Photoshop to work the same way. For web graphics Fireworks rocks! But it did take a bit of time to realize the power of FW vectors and to stop thinking "Photoshop".

Summary: It's all in the details!
Comment: I've bought quite a few of these quickie books. Some are good. Some are awful.
This one goes way beyond the others. It's all in the details. Details on how to save files. Details on how to slice objects. Details on how to create rollovers. Details on optimizing. Details on everything.
I've been carrying my copy around so much that the cover is about to fall off.
