Expensive and Shoddy
By Amy S. Vastola
I was a technical writer and instructional designer for 20 years. I bought this book because I went back to school to retrain as a paralegal, and a community college course required it. I could have gotten the requirement waived based upon my work experience, but really wanted to strengthen my facility with Excel and Access. What a mistake!
Very disappointing book that bombards the reader with lots of useless verbiage (did ANYONE edit this?), includes outright keystroke mistakes (did ANYONE proof it, or did they just run the pages through the spellchecker?), and most fundamentally, the book fails to use any basic instructional design principles. It is clear that the writers who worked on it were much more familiar with writing tools, since they devote an inordinate amount of space in each chapter to formatting your output, and it's clear that nobody had an accounting or even basic mathematical background, the Excel formula explanations are that weak. I dread looking at the Access section.
Instead of learning and practicing important skills within each application, and then adding competency gradually, you go through the exercises just following key stroke instructions but not absorbing any concepts and consequently there's nothing to retain.

For less money and better learning, you could buy a Dummies book for each of the applications.

My Own Reference Book.. WOW
By Henry J
What a deal. I know that most people like digital books, but I am old fashion. This great book cost only a fraction of the cost from previous years. The delivery was fast and everything was in great shape.Microsoft Office 2007: Introductory Concepts and Techniques, Windows XP Edition

Microsoft office 2007: introductory concepts and techniques premium video edition for KINDLE
By Azreader
Kindle edition buyers note there is NO VIDEO whatsoever that goes with this. I didn't find any links within the book so I called publisher and they said you don't get video access unless you buy a REAL book. Very misleading since description in kindle store doesn't say you don't get video. I did not expect this from a shelly- cashman product especially given the price.
