Summary: Confusing and hard to follow but have a lot of information
Comment: The book is impressive - nearly 900 pages, but most of them are just too basic. I am an experienced Frontpage 97 user, and I learn faster just playing with the program. The authors go in extend with beginning stuffs such as adding images, changes text etc.. while on advanced topics such as adding activeX controls and scripts, there is simply not enough information. The layout of topics is confusing too. For example: discussion web (forum) is appeared in 2 places: 1. Chapter 23, pages 537 (deal with creating, posting and deleting articles), and 2. chapter 11, page 249 (discussion form handler). In my opinion, if the author group them together, it will be easier to follow.

The CD have many sharewares, but most of them are not that useful.

I would rate this one worse that the "Laura" series.

Summary: Confusing and badly written
Comment: I bought Using Frontpage 98 and Mastering Frontpage 98 and neither really said much. Using Frontpage 98 is a book written for beginners in NON-beginner language. Mastering Frontpage 98 is slightly better, but they are still both difficult to follow and where is information on Active Server Pages, JavaScript, VB Script, and any of the advanced features?! They aren't in either of these. However, if you are patient and want to know all the basics of Frontpage, then the books might be for you.

Summary: Inaccurate to the point of useless
Comment: I agree with reader #1. Time and time again, I referred to the book only to find that it contained inaccurate information that simply did not work.

I asked the publisher if there was and updated version, for which there was not.
