About the Author
Greg Harvey Ph.D. has authored tons of computer books, the most recent being Excel 2003 For Dummies and Adobe Acrobat 6 PDF For Dummies. He started out training business users on how to use IBM personal computers and their attendant computer software in the rough and tumble days of DOS, WordStar, and Lotus 1-2-3 in the mid-80s of the last century. After working for a number of independent training firms, he went on to teach semester-long courses in spreadsheet and database management software at Golden Gate University in San Francisco.
His love of teaching has translated into an equal love of writing. For Dummies books are, of course, his all-time favorites to write because they enable him to write to his favorite audience, the beginner. They also enable him to use humor (a key element to success in the training room) and, most delightful of all, to express an opinion or two about the subject matter at hand.

Roxio to the Rescue
If I hadn't bought this book my computer would now be at the bottom of the swimming pool. While the Roxio program has good help tips and tutorials, having this secondary source on paper was absolutely necessary to me.

I haven't even begun to explore the depths of the full program but this book made it possible for me to cut my learning curve significantly - and enjoyably, too!

Even though I have now penciled in a couple of my own tips not included in the book, this book has got to be Roxio's best friend. If you going to buy and use the Roxio program then you certainly should include this book in your purchase plans.
