One of the best reference books I have ever read (and I have read a lot of them). The authors take you 'stepbystep' through every critical feature in MS Project. The procedures are very straightforward; there is virtually no way 2 screw up their instructions. Even if you know nothing about project management, you will have no trouble with this book. In fact, this book will teach you more than how 2 use MS Project, it will also teach you about project management. I really can't say enough positive things about this book.
My only small criticism is that many of the figures are not labeled. I found myself labeling some of the more ambiguous figures myself.
Nonetheless, I still have no trouble giving this book 5 stars.

Rating: 3 of 5 Significant additional costs are incurred 2 use the companion CD
StepbyStep Microsoft OfficeProject2007 is a complete written review of the subject, but use of the companion CD involves significant additional costs. Use of the CD requires the user 2 also have installed Microsoft Office2007, Microsoft Project2007, & additional speciality programs.
