Okay Book
On the whole, it's got some useful examples that can teach you some of the basics. However, a lot of space was wasted in trying to oversimply by using screens. The authors should have focused more on explaining the basics of javascript. Having said that, the book is clearly written and the layout is easy to follow.

Great reference for the novice
JavaScript seems to drive everything these days, so you cannot create good webpages without knowing what it is and how it works. I really love these Read Less - Learn More books, for they are constructed so intelligently. They gives simply, clear instuctions that have sceenshots to show precisely what they are detailing. In a matter of a few minutes you will see the world of JavaScript in much simplier terms. Cannot recommend this book enough for novices webdesigners. A Must.

Comes with CD Rom.

Great reference especially for casual javascript users
If you are not a hardcore javascript programmer and you find yourself in need of a snippet of code, you can find it easily with a simple working example in this book. I am primarily an Visual Basic/ASP/ASP.NET programmer and use javascript from time to time to do simple things on the client that reduce unnecessary hits to the web server. When you don't program in a language every day you often forget many of the nuances of the language and this books effectively helps fill that gap for me. Many books fall short of being good programming references by not giving clear concise and short examples like this book does.
