So I'm reading textbooks to decide if I want to teach from them and this one did not impress. The part about photo editing was useful and so was the webpage building example, and the rest of it had many useless platitudes (e.g. Don't let fear of viruses stop you building a website!), as well as some inaccuracies (e.g. identifying NeXT as the first Web browser) as well as unnecessarily twisted explanations. There is an updated edition on the way, which I hope was actually edited this time.
