Many people steal images, text and clips off the web. Getting Permission for Nolo Press book tells how to do it right by asking permission legally.

Prima's Fireworks 4 book is filled with screen shots to help you more easily design websites. It includes a trial version of Fireworks and Dreamweaver 4. Most unusual is that the entire text of the book is written in BLUE ink! Needless to say, I am a fan of that color.

A nice feature in this book is the "Fast Track" section in the back which gives you a comprehensive overview of the important concepts, chapter by chapter. It's like having a book with built-in Cliff's Notes.
