Missing Manual, is right!
This book is clear, concise, and easy to follow. This is the second manual I have purchased for FrontPage 2003. I appreciate the clarity for an amateur like me.

An accurate book title
I have often been frustrated and even angry by the poor quality of manuals that come with so many products. I was initially attracted to this book by its title. It's then a burden to locate an appropriate, well written manual. Some are too basic; some too advanced. At least for me, this one was written at the right level and with a pleasant style to read. I had first read parts of Frontpage 2003 for Dummies and Microsoft's Step-by-Step book. They were okay, but this book was better. This book seemed to have more substance without a lot more heft. And it's nice to read a computer manual with a critical perspective and a slightly irreverant tone--something that is missing from the Microsoft series. The book wasn't perfect. I had trouble, for example, following its chapters on layers and cascading style sheets. Something seemed to be missing from these chapters. I don't exactly know what except that these chapters didn't fulfill their stated purpose. All in all, though, an excellent book.
