If You Want to Learn FrontPage Read This

You know how so many "how to" books are either so simple they never get around to telling how to do anything but turn on your computer, or they drop the ball somewhere leaving you halfway through a project? Well, this book assumes that the beginner has some brains and follows through. It's well-written and thorough. The biggest problems I had were FrontPage's quirks, but that's not London's fault. She points them out with amusement, and tells you what to do to cope with them. Thank you for a book I can really use!

Technical writing the way it was meant to be

I have a Masters Degree in Technical and Professional Writing, and I'm a professional technical writer. So I know what distinguishes a good instructional book from a bad one. Ms. London has done a wonderful, thorough job of explaining how to use FrontPage 2000. Her tips are very thoughtful. I can see her now, with a tape recorder or notepad, noting every little thing that seemed unusual to her as she explored the program. The result is like having a personal tutor sitting next to you, warning you about the program's quirks as you are about to encounter each one. In a few places. I find myself having to read a passage two or three times before I can understand it, so she could still polish it up a bit. London walks the reader through procedures using her own sample page (downloadable from the publisher's website) but she allows the reader to substitute their own page, instead. London keeps reminding the reader, "of course, if you're not using my sample, you would do it differently . . ." She could probably get away with stating that caveat once per section, instead of several times in each procedure. But these are small exceptions. In general, the book is very thorough, very well written, and very helpful indeed. Thank you, Ms London, for this fine specimen of technical writing the way it was meant to be!

FrontPage 2000 by Sherry London

I'm a novice when it comes to computer but this book is so easy to follow and well written and I would say, a must for anybody intrested in FrontPage 2000. I had problems uploading my site, so who better to go to than Sherry herself and she is one of the most charming ladies I've ever had the pleasure to come across. She is not an author who takes your money and runs, but one who cares. She had my site up and running in no time and her book is now like my bible. Thank you Sherry for such a wonderful well written book and being the person you are. Look forward to seeing more of your work.
