I am an Executive Assistant in a corporation and I am working on redoing the file management system for my department. I was hoping that this book would give me some good, new ideas for streamlining our system. What I found when I opened it, was information that seemed more suited for a remedial high school business course.

So, if you are in search of a book that will teach you how to alphabetize and similarly elementary concepts, this would be a great resource. Otherwise, skip it and find something more suitable for business professionals.

Even if you know absolutely nothing about filing and organization, you're still too advanced for this book. Okay, MAYBE if you really need someone to explain the difference between a takeout menu and the deed to your house, then just maybe this book is for you. It is basically a pamphlet stretched out to book length by adding things like word search puzzles, lessons on how to use your mouse and lots of empty space. There is no useful information on starting or maintaining even the simplest office or personal filing system

At Your Fingertips in the Office is a much better choice. (But really, just about anything would be)

Either for work or home, this practical guide is great for getting your life in order!
