Summary: Useful, but not meeting expectations
Comment: The other reviewers have done a fine job, and I do recommend the book, but my expectations were not completely met.
Firstly, it has a lot of repetition, which makes for a physically large book. Maybe this is good for learning for some, but I found it a little annoying.
Second, the examples are a little theoretical.
Finally the CDROM is a disappointment. Here is why
1. It includes "Woody's Office Power Pack 2003", which ONLY works with Office 2003, not XP or earlier. You have to pay for the earlier versions. No value to me, as I am an XP user.
2. The examples from the book are "buggy", and so far, I've not found them to work as advertised.
3. The so-called "software library" is only for trialware - 30 days max. The sort of thing you can download off the web anyway, so no added value here.
4. The graphics library is very small and limited when compared with other online sources - again, no added value
5. The remainder of the CDROM is simply advertising, with one valuable exception.
It has a complete copy of the book in PDF form, which is great for searching out references to subjects. Make sure you have the latest Adobe Reader. I would not bother to try reading the manual on my computer screen, but use Reader to find the right pages and go to the paper copy. But that's the only item of value that I have found on the CDROM.
I'm glad I have the book, but don't expect much from the CDROM. The claims of $ value on the CDROM are a little optimistic.

Summary: Myyyyyy Precious! - Just kidding everyone should read this!
Comment: I obtained my copy of Special Edition Using Microsoft Office FrontPage 2003 before I even received my FrontPage 2003 web editor. On first sight I was overwhelmed with the size of the book and decided to start with the cd as the book was not going to make sense to me till I got FP03 and could follow the book visually. I was delighted to discover some goodies I could not get elsewhere. It includes WOPR 2003 which you can use with Office 2003 (only). There was a Electronic version of the book on the cd and good selection of free graphics. Trial versions of a selection of FrontPage add-ons and a new add-on developed just for this book from Jim called SnipView.
As if that were not enough, I know I won't need any other FrontPage 2003 book because this one has everything I need and in step by step detail, often covering features to the extent that other books don't (whatever version) This is something I try do with my own writing and I'm glad to see this in a book. I know that FP03 has big learning curves in some areas and I'm pleased that Jim and Paul decided to get together and give me a resource that is comfortable and easy to learn from. This is what an instructional book should be and I look forward hopefully (please guys?) to more of the same with future books.

Summary: As Good As It Gets
Comment: As a FrontPage user since version 1.1, I have read all the books to date. Paul and Jim have outshown all the rest. This one's especially good because it's based upon the finished FP product, not the beta. So, what you see IS what you get! As a MicroSoft FrontPage MVP, I consider this to be the the definitive book on FrontPage 2003.
