Adobe Creative Suite 3 Web Premium All-In-One Desk Reference for Dummies

Although it tends to follow that books that will cram loads of information between their covers also then tend to truncate important information in that process of trying to be "all things to all people," the this book provides useful and informative text for each of its proffered parts to the Adobe web collection for the CS3. It's laid out so that anyone can at first navigate to whatever portion of the suite they wish to learn about and ultimately use, but such a layout for the book makes it rather like a phonebook, or encyclopaedia, in that there's no need to physically bookmark one's recent or past findings, because it's right there where you left it, if you need to reference it again. I would therefore classify this book as a great addition to any reference library for one's Adobe products, and recommend it to anyone wanting to become both familiar and versed in all things Adobe CS3.
