Excellent!:
I've read some of the previous reviews and couldn't believe that they were not 5's across the board. Several years ago, I had to learn Framemaker very quickly. This book made that possible. Since that time, I've used Framemaker on a day-to-day basis and I still consider _FM_5.5.6_for_Dummies_ to be a very good book. (I use FM 6.)
horrid:
I've tried, over and over, to make this book work. But I can't. I'm a beginner and this book makes absolutely no sense, for the most part. If you have no experience with FrameMaker, do not go near this book. O'Keefe seems to have written this thing without much worry about detail or really taking you throug the process of creating documents.

For a beginner, this book isn't as easy as it should be. RoboHELP for Dummies was a phenominal book. This book hardly compares. The author, a technical writer, doesn't break down the why's and I'm left frustrated and starting over. It's too bad there's no real competition for a book like this. I really wish there was a more user friendly FrameMaker... more info
Framemaker for Dummies by Dummies:
I own over 500 computer books and this is the first I've felt compelled to review, and now only because this book is truly awful. Like many computer people, when I buy a book, I usually give it a quick reading and then look up troublesome items in the index as I work with the program. After a quick reading of FFD I knew little more than when I started, because it's very chaotic, but it wasn't until I started trying to use the index that I really grew to hate this book. FrameMaker is a program for making... more info
