New Perspectives on Microsoft Office Excel 2003, Comprehensive

I already knew a lot about Microsoft Excel and I have a lot of books on Microsoft Office Excel. What first attracted me to this book is the title, "New Perspectives" but once I began using the book, I can't say enough good things about it. The learning process in this book is so clear and easy to follow and takes you through step by step instructions. I also love the laminated reference card that is part of the back of the book; it makes an excellent quick and easy reference. I did learn and apply new things from this book. I use this book professionally.

If you have read many Excel books, few of them provides the amount of practice problem that you can find here. The step by step guide makes it look easy to the beginner but the tutorials challenging enough for even the advanced users. None other books have as many diagrams to aid in your understanding, and few of them makes you want to find out more about Excel. This book stands out. After reading the whole book, you just need to practice and practice to perfect it. No need for other Excel books, you can trash them.

This book is the same anywhere you go but it was the cheapest and when comes to school books, if can get deal then you should. I had no problems with delivery it was an easy process and got it in no time.

I'm taking Excel Spreadsheets in college this quarter. The book is clear, and easy to understand (even for those unfamiliar with using a computer, in my opinion). One of the best parts is the great visual aids. Each tutorial gives color pictures of what you should be seeing on the screen of your computer while you work the tutorial. Sections within the chapter are also very well color organized and bolded for easy skimming if you are not new to the material. Our teacher says that the book gets really advanced the farther on you read. Our basics & intermediate class only goes halfway through the book. The advanced excel class reads the second half, which teaches material on the level required by Microsoft in order to receive Microsoft Office Certification on the "expert" level. On another note, Excel is an invaluable tool for personal use and in the work world.

This is the most well written software learning guide I have ever seen. The structure is logical and easy to follow. The graphics are incredible. Imagine the most well written textbook you have ever read. That's what this book is like. This isn't a how-to book, it's a complete course.
