Summary: Half-Way Decent as a Reference, Not Much More
Review: This particular book shows some promise w/ all the illustrations, but really falls short of my expectations. The descriptions of what's going on in each step are REALLY vague, and tend to be more confusing than helpful.

I've got quite a bit of experience over the years w/ Access, but just wanted some sort of refresher. This book MIGHT be ok if you only wanted a really basic reference of some sort, but I'm sure that better ones are out there anyways.

For someone looking for a beginner's book of some sort, stick w/ the Dummies' series, or the 24-hour books.

Summary: Screen Shots are great for explaining Access Features
Review: WOrking with MS Products has a strong visual component. I liked this book because the pictures and explanations are very clear. This allows one to pick up a procedure or skill very quickly. A very good book for beginners to intermediates. So so for advanced, although the coverage of Pivot tables is pretty good
