review by: Author - The Virtual Trilogy date: 2008-06-27 rating:

Simple enough to be readable - detailed enough to be useful
Having been overawed by the sheer volume of printed material that came with the version of Adobe CS3 I bought to create my 'Virtual Trilogy' and 'Captain Cockle' websites, I turned in desperation to my natural comfort zone - the 'For Dummies' series . . .

I was not disappointed. The manual is easy enough to be user friendly and yet detailed enough to be useful in actually gaining enough mastery of the programmes in CS3 to operate them efficiently (and to summon up enough courage to dive into the commercial manuals that accompany the product.

Anyone who has invested the (not inconsiderable) amount of money that CS3 costs, would do very well to invest in the (very reasonable) price of this book so that they can get the best out of this very formidable suite of software.
