 Not for beginners ( paste )
As a beginner I wanted to get a quick overview of Dreamweaver before jumping in and learning how it works. But this book is set up more like a reference guide. I'm sure it works great for those who are familiar with web design and know what chapter they're looking for. But this book makes it difficult to jump in and get started, what all of us beginners are itching for. Designing and Crafting Core Pages doesn't even start til Part II on page 153. I got David Sawyer McFarland's Missing Manual and you start building a website from page 35. It's a much better instructional book.

 All you need
This book contains everything you need to know. My only criticism is that the first four chapters are to do with setting up the workspace and other details that you don't really need to know from the start, you don't actually start learning how to write web pages until chapter 5.

IT'S USABLE AND COMPLETE: END OF STORY
It's usable and complete. The index is helpful. Well worth the price. I'm a complete beginner and don't have a problem with it.

Everything you need to know and a tutorial too ( tundradruid )
The CS3 Bible is both a great way to learn the program from scratch and a great reference when you need to solve a particular problem. There is more complete information than in the manual, and it is easier to use and learn from. If you have never used Dreamweaver before there is a nice set of tutorials and everything about using the program from a short and easily understood explanation of CSS to using programming language and integrating other adobe products. I keep this around for reference, and I have recommended it to others for learning the program.

A Little Dry
Aside from the obvious, that it has nothing whatsoever to do with THE Bible, it's quite dry and un-informing. I'm unable to get much from the book; other than "history of the web" type stuff. Buy at your own risk.
