I found this book to be pedestrian. The ideas presented in this book are outdated. I would not recommend this book to anyone.

I have typed many reviews on Amazon. For most of the things to which I have given bad ratings, I typed the review with disappointment or frustration or sometimes even amusement. This is the first negative review I have given for a product that has made me angry on multiple occasions (most recently, about 15 minutes ago).

Suppose you were taking a college algebra course and you had multiple classes and curriculums to choose from (and therefore different algebra textbooks for each class). Wouldn't you be thrilled to get the class that used the textbook without instructions? Unless you're an algebra-fan, probably not. In fact, a normal person would never intentionally take on any task or project of any kind that they were unfamiliar with unless they had a clear, concise set of instructions to guide them.

This textbook contains no such instructions.

There are many different Microsoft Office textbooks out there, and most of them are probably far more helpful than this one. I would ask any professors who read this to choose a more student-friendly textbook for their curriculum.

For college students who come across these words, I strongly recommend avoiding the purchase and use of this textbook. If you need to take a computer course that requires this textbook, then I would recommend choosing another course with a better text. I would recommend avoiding professors (and I'm sorry, but I have to say this) who are careless enough to choose this textbook or, for that matter, any textbook that fails to provide instructions on completion of the coursework therein.

Please, save yourself the frustrations and anger that I now have to deal with.

This is a personality self assessment book but the all of the solutions to the self assessments are not included. This edition must have been discontinued. Don't buy this book.

I was too quick with this purchase and failed to notice that the "book" was only six pages in length. The information was generic and could have been downloaded off of any web page. I found the experience of purchasing this "book" akin to flushing a $100.00 bill down the toilet. The only value I received from this purchase was the hindsight that I should have performed a price per page calculation. If hindsight is truly 20/20 I'd suggest you not waste your money.

Did I really just buy one page of somewhat outdated information for four dollars, or is there something going wrong with the downloads?

Lost my money in a bad written story, full of superficial advise.

This little pamphlet is only 45 pages long and costs sixty dollars. It just has some screen shots and is very simplistic. Save your money!

I would love to be able to review the correct power point, but due to the incorrect disk (floppy's on sales) I did not receive the correct cd powerpoint.

It has been over about weeks and have not had a received a corrected shipment or a refund for the incorrect disk.

My rating has nothing to do with this book, but about trying to figure out why this edition (Nov 2003) was so much more expensive than the earlier edition (Oct 2003). I had to use the ISBN and research other websites and believe I figured it out - the Nov edition (ISBN 0471472409) includes a CD ROM, but the October edition (ISBN 0471453927) is only the book. Without the table of contents or more descriptive editorial review, it took me way too long to figure this out! I hope this review helps others.

In this book you will find a review of software and office equipment. If this is what you are looking for, great. It's not what I was expecting. I have all the software I need, I just need time management and to stay focused. I didn't find it in this book.
