Essential

I think anyone serious about Fireworks needs this Bible as a reference source. The index is excellent for looking up quick answers. Its a bit "design" challenged and if you have version 3 the major portion of the illustrations are the same.You could learn Fireworks with this book if you are patient or have a lot of time, but its better suited as a reference book. The layout and order of things don't flow like a step by step, beginners book.Don't get me wrong, this is an excellant book with a wealth of information. If you are looking for inspirational design ideas then this isn't it. There are some more advanced topics such as customizing Fireworks and a chapter on integrating Fireworks with Dreamweaver. Good value for the money. If you want to find info quick, this book fits the bill.

No nonsense in this one

I highly recommend this book! I like the way the author didn't waste my time trying to include little jokes to spice up the text. Every feature was covered in complete detail. I read the book from cover to cover and immediately became a master at using Fireworks 4. Previously, I had been using photoshop to make my web images and effects but since reading this bible book I haven't touched Photoshop. Fireworks is a great program and if you want to learn all of its capabilities then you should own and read the Fireworks 4 Bible.

Great Book

Great reference book. I think every function and aspect of FW is in here! I have already found out a lot of new things about FW from this book! Lots of great ideas too! There are not many FW 4 Books available, but this one is definitely worth a look!
