Reviews for Fireworks 2 for Windows and Macintosh: Visual Quickstart Guide (Visual QuickStart Guides)

1. What a reference - buy this book!

   Rated 5 out of 5 stars, October 12th, 1999

   This book is fantastic. I had no idea on how to use any part of Fireworks past the basics. This book got me up and running in two days and covers all the essential bits of Fireworks before getting to slicing and the rest. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to know how to do something quickly - it acts as a great reference and it's not just going to sit on the shelf and look nice for the next million years. If you want heavier more in depth text use the Fireworks 2 Bible.

2. Eureka!

   Rated 5 out of 5 stars, July 12rd, 1999

   This is a well-written and comprehensive quick reference manual about a great web graphics program. As much as WHAT is in here, I was impressed with HOW it is all organised and presented. It's clear, logical and very good-looking (the author even invented a special font for the printing!) There are so many features within Fireworks, that it's easy to get lost amongst the settings and menus. Sandee Cohen shows the way. She has real empathy with new user and upgrader alike - at times I thought she was reading my mind! Until I bought this book I was struggling to discover where everything was, and what everything did. Apart from increasing my awareness of and enjoyment from using Fireworks 2, Sandee has helped to improve the productivity of our little company. I'm grateful for being spared the long learning curve at a time when we are really busy. Incidentally, she has a cat called Pixel! Excellent name. Excellent book.
