Summary: Not sure what the other reviewers are seeing...
Review: Some tips were a little mediocre, but for the most part a great collection of tips. These killer tips books seem to be mostly for novice users of programs, and in this case that remains true, but since I'm a novice in Dreamweaver, I loved the information contained within.

Summary: Peachy Keen Tips!!
Review: This book is a little gem! Written in a rather tongue-in-cheek style, the authors provide scads of truly useful tips for using and getting the most out of Dreamweaver MX. Some may find the humor a bit silly, but I liked the way it kept the tone of the book light. I know I'll be grabbing this book a million times to refresh my memory on how to do some of the common tasks in Dreamweaver in the easiest way possible. Definitely a "keeper!"

Summary: Hundreds of Tips. Will definitely improve productivity!
Review: This book is probably best suited for Intermediate level Dreamweaver MX users who are looking for ways to improve their productivity. This is a 200+ page book that is very colorful inside and has a killer tip per page. If you tried to learn these productivity and usage tips on your own without this book, you could spend at least an hour on each tip and still miss quite a few tips. This book will eliminate 1-2 years from your learning curve and save you hundreds of hours that can be spent on doing more projects. Here's an example of how valuable these tips are - if you encounter a fatal exception error while working with Dreamweaver, do you know how NOT to lose your work? This tip alone saved me a lot of time when it happened to me (given enough time, it will definitely happen to all users). Another invaluable tip is on using Dreamweaver MX to check how your web page will display in the various browsers out there without actually having all those different browsers! Some of the tips may not be real killer tips but there aren't that many that gave me such a feeling. In most cases, I am wondering if I just haven't encountered the problem yet and hence fail to see the power of the killer tip. The best part about the book is that you can open the book on any page and learn something new for the day. If you spend a lot of time designing web sites, you won't regret reading a tip or two per day and in the process benefit tremendously from the time spent with the book. The price is not too bad either so don't hesitate to buy this book. Enjoy the hundreds of killer tips!
