Awesome. Didn't realize Google could help my small rep agency. Set up a Gmail acct and kept seeing other things Google had to offer. Bought Getting Productive... and discovered I didn't have to spend a fortune to get set up. Too easy.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great introduction to google apps, March 12, 2009

If you are a Mac user, like myself, and are looking for an inexpensive alternative to Microsoft Office Google Apps is definitely worth looking into.

Mr. Beswick does a fantastic job of introducing new Google apps users to the suite and walking them though a number of different real life examples. The text and examples are very straight forward and easy to understand. The book is a very quick read and serves as a great introduction. Highly recommended!
