Summary: My students like this book
Review: I used this book for Foundations of Multimedia in Fall of 2003. I am teaching this course again this coming Fall. While I was considering textbooks for the coming year, my students urged me to include this book in the booklist for the course. This book provides an excellent overview of multimedia applications which is appropriate for a college level course.

Summary: Current and thorough
Review: This is an excellent book for instructional use (once you get past the proper British English spellings of everything :-p). After receiving and reading my copy I quickly decided to use it for instruction in one of the classes I teach. Compared to many other books on the market this one is thorough and current, and offers information fit for both beginning and advanced students of multimedia. The one criticism I have of the book is it would have been nice to include a CD with images and samples and / or an online / searchable pdf file of the text. It is, afterall, a "multimedia" textbook. There is a website which goes with the book, but it's a little light on content. All in all though, it's an excellent resource!
