Limited Excellence,

This review is from: Excel 97 for Windows for Dummies Quick Reference (Paperback)
Walkenbach provides some first-rate coverage of Excel basics and his "Quick Reference" is highly readable, but at least one core spreadsheet subject--macros--is encountered briefly on page 22, then again only in the glossary. Still, worth the money (no five stars though). Note: If you're studying for MOUS certification, I recommend buying MacMillan's quick study guide in addition to Walkenbach.
