 FrameMaker by Sarah S. S. O'Keefe March 22, 2008
If you have used FrameMaker and understand it enough to consider yourself functional, then you need this book. I paid $200 for my copy and that's a huge premium from the original price. Is it worth it? You bet. It's easy to understand for the intermediate user and takes you all the way from Houston to the moon and back. Wonderful book and tool.

 Don't spend money. May 21, 2004

I've spent as much time reading this as the one sent from Adobe when I ordered FrameMaker 7.0. Meaning, it's just as useful (or worthless) as the one from Adobe. Too many features are just as cryptic and vague. I've spent hours experimenting just to find exactly how to format this, or how to customize that with their general descriptions--until it actually worked. My most recent unresolved problem had been having to customize the index and table of contents. Their explanations have been too vague for me. Why I must have to spend so much time to decipher this work is beyond me. Although I've worked with computers for over 15 years, I'm not a programmer. I bought this as a reference because I don't know (get it?). I shouldn't have to sit here and decode their work (O'Keefe and Loring's). It's fallen waaay short of my expectations. I'd get my money back if I could.
Complete Reference Frame Maker 7 by O'Keefe and Loring May 16, 2004

This work is perfect for anyone seeking to become conversant with the latest software productivity tools. The authors describe products, content creation and sample templates in simple English. They teach how to work with structured documents, manipulate text, formatting and tag methodologies.
The mechanics of tabular design , text and the set-up for book files are described in considerable detail with pertinent illustrations. The command "Select File.book" is explained.
The authors illustrate how to save a pdf file:
At the "File"- SELECT "SAVE AS" TYPE "File name.pdf" SAVEImportant template insignias are illustrated utilizing large
diagrams and pointers to key locations on the screen. This book is a solid value if you know little about template organization and design and you need to learn fast.
 Good Information, but Some Deficiencies February 26, 2004

FrameMaker 7: The Complete Reference is, as described in virtually all of its reviews here at amazon.com, a good reference book and a good choice for learning FrameMaker. Its information is good; however, the book's paper, print quality, and binding are all very poor. The spine on my copy broke after just a few days of handling. My copy is destined to shortly fall into several pieces. If you compare this book's physical quality to the quality of Adobe's FrameMaker 7.0 Classroom in Book, you will see a world of difference. Again, the information the book contains is good. The book is mostly complete, excepting its structured application development deficiencies. With respect to structured application development, I must say it is almost, but not quite completely, deficient.Steve Whitlatch
