Summary: Worth any price!
Comment: I teach Dreamweaver for an Apple Specialist, in a two day class and they recieve a book at the end of the class. I use to use a different book, but liked the other Visual Quickstart books, so I thought I'd try this one as well.
WOW! It has EVERYTHING I wanted from a book and then some. The 602 actual pages (not including the index) was impressive. Each chapter explains everything perfectly, and of course better than the manual. It was the perfect choice for my students because it is such a great resource. Plus, once they have mastered the basics, there is enough information to take their sites to the next level. This book gives the most information I have seen on Dreamweaver 4. The chapters on CSS and Layers alone are worth the price of the book. I was also impressed on the amount of information on behaviors, automation and customizing.Best Dreamweaver book around for the beginning to intermediate user.

Summary: Very good, but with omissions
Comment: The topics covered are very well written and easy to follow. I used it to get up to speed on DW4 and have been mostly pleased with it, but be warned that many basic DW4 concepts are not covered (how to make image maps and how to import a site that is already published on the web come immediately to mind). If Ms. Towers adds these to the next edition she will indeed have written a 5-star book.
I would suggest you supplement this title with either "Teach Yourself Visually Dreamweaver 4" or "Dreamweaver 4/Fireworks 4 Visual JumpStart" to have a more complete set of DW4 reference works on hand.

Summary: Top notch teaching manual
Comment: Listen Software Solutions: The book is perfect for teaching: 1. It has two to three visual screen shots for each page 2. Step by Step instruction lead the student through the concept 3. Notes and definitions to provide clarity and help tie concepts together.
The book starts off simple by explaining and demonstrating the dreamweaver development environment: workspace, planning your site, and moving files.
The book assumes you have little or not knowledge of HTML or Javascript. So they cover: edit HTML, working with images, working with links, fonts and characters, paragraphs and block formating, forms, and javascript behaviors. This was ok.
But the section on Style Sheets was excellent. I've create style sheets from scratch, but using dreamweaver made the task very easy.
Since, I've already have a strong understand of javascript and html. The book was more about learning how to use the dreamweaver tool rather than learning how to code a web page.
Filling out forms and modifying behavior events was helpful in terms of learning how to use the dreamweaver tool.
I found the multimedia section fun. The authors do an excellent job explaining and demonstrating timelines, keyframes, layers, and behavior events.
This was a very user friendly book to read and use. The book has a learn by example approach to learning how to use dreamweaver.
