Summary: FP 98 Bible is a DON'T BUY
Review: Attracted by satisfaction with MS Access Bible, I innocently plunked down for this FP 98 travesty. As an innocent student you labor trusting in the author's authority. You tear your hair, you weep and moan.. and lo. This one is frought with errors that will drive you nuts. After suffering through most of this careless piece of trash, on page 429 the author's botched code for ASP finally got to me. Fortunately, I paid full price at retail and promises to give me a store credit. Don't buy this book.

Summary: This book is the best!
Review: FrontPage98 Bible has everything you wanted to know about FrontPage 98 and then some! Not only does it cover FrontPage 98, it also touches on CGI programming, database connectivity, discussion forums etc. This is one book that will be indespensible from when you first start learning FrontPage, right through to advanced web page design.

Summary: Better than most, but lacking advanced tips
Review: I got this book because it had advanced info on integrating MS Access databases into web sites. In fact, after spending days with other books, I figured out how to insert the database within one hour, and it worked perfectly. No other book even came close for that task.Now that I know how to build the database interactivity, I was hoping for more advanced tips, but unfortunately the book seems to stop after that. Of course, the book covers all the basics for most users, but is actually more easy to read than the other 4 books I tried.

Summary: Good Book
Review: I think this is a really good book for folks who are new to Front Page. I had never used it and once I got the book, I was up and running within a few days. Highly reccommended for new and novice users. The only down side is that sometimes it skipped steps. I had to noodle around to get through one or two things but overall I feel it is well worth the money.

Summary: Worth every penny!
Review: I was contemplating buying a FrontPage 98 book and there are many from which to choose. Then I read a review from a disatisfied reviewer. Well, I bought the book anyway. My needs and the needs of the disatisfied reviewer were very different. This book meets my needs "to a T". No, it dosen't cover advanced topics to every extent but it does provide a good basis to get started and mention is made regarding places to get additional information for very specific needs. I'm glad that I choose to buy this reference manual. It answers the basic questions and even goes further to explain a lot of things that I didn't learn in my FrontPage 98 class that cost many times more. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is looking to get started or to polish their existing web page.

Summary: Very good book..........just takes a little time
Review: This book is well put together. I am sure as the rest of you know that the book that comes with Frontppage 98 is .....well........ an hard to follow at best. I was able to scan through Frontpage Bible an have pages up an going for my website in just a few hours. I would call this book for starts to mid range people......someone that really already knows how to do HTML. ect would be board with this book VERY fast. But everything or just about everything is covered in this book. Pick it up if you are having a hard time with Frontpage 98.
