Judy,
If you thought that Classrom in a box was bad, I bought both Photoshop 4
Classroom in a book and Advanced Classroom in a book. I think that they were
$38 each on Amazon or Buy.com. The Advanced book more or less repeated
everything in the "basic" book. the examples were different but new subject
matter was not covered.
I was so disgusted by the book that I contacted the publish, pointed out several
technical errors, and told them that they should be ashamed of the book. After
my email/letter/discussion (I have forgotten what I did), they refunded my
purchase price.
Another (ultimately) satisfied customer.
