| I was looking forward to learn a lot about Adobe Golive. Whata disappointment! You only master frustration and anger by readingthis book. The authors have gone through extensive effort and length to avoid explaining adobe golive. Seventeen chapters and I am still not sure how CSS and Dhtml that are powerful parts of the program work. The title is very misleading... You can learn more by reading adobe online quicktime tutorials or by buying the training CD... |

| If you want an introduction to web design which includes GoLive 4.0 and other Adobe products, then this book is for you. However, if you want in-depth coverage of floating boxes, CSS, DHTML, even rollovers (not even mentioned), then look elsewhere. I personally profited from some of the coverage of other Adobe products, but this will not apply to everyone. To really MASTER GoLive, start with the manual and the excellent QuickTime tutorials on Adobe's web site. |

| I have to agree with some of the 'critical' reviews here. There was too much info about 'good design' and what you need to think about but that wasn't the point I bought this book. It wasn't until much later that they actually got into the details of starting the program. Even then they weren't that useful. I found I knew most of what they taught me even before I started the book because I had fooled around a bit first. There was nothing knew and supposedly there's some 'hot' features in Golive which makes it comparable to Dreamweaver. I have to say after reading this book: what features? Plus talking so much about 'other' programs.. such a waste since you may as well get a book on those. What you teach here is not going to be substantial enough to even consider. |

| Don't let the title fool you - it should have been: "Beginning GoLive", not "Mastering GoLive". The book covers a lot of basic subjects that only adresses users on an absolute beginners level - all the intermediate and advanced stuff is left out. A lot of pages are wasted on basic descriptions of other Adobe products (E.g. Photoshop, Illustrator), but if I wanted to read about those programs, I would have bought a book covering that, right! The space could have been used for describing powerful GoLive features like CSS, DHTML, floating boxes and stuff like that, which are all left out. In short: read the GoLive manual and buy a more sophisticated book (Like "Real World GoLive") instead! |

| Thank heavens (and the authors) for this book! I am also shocked by the negative reviews listed here. I had no previous experience with GoLive or any other web design software, but now I have a web site for my business. This book offers clear, in-depth, step-by-step guidance that I have yet to find in any other guide. I particularly appreciated the chapter about integrating GoLive with other Adobe software. I actually obtained more useful information about using Illustrator and Photoshop in this book than I did with guides I bought specifically for those programs. I can't thank the authors enough for finally providing a practical guide with clear instructions and interesting design suggestions for the new user. If you're new to GoLive, don't hesitate to buy this book. |
