I'm new to MS Projects and I was able to put this book to use as soon as I opened it. I have been able to find answers to all of my questions because it is very easy to find what I need when I need it. The examples and step by step instructions make it very easy to follow and understand. You also get multiple options for doing everything.

I bought it used but I would have gladly paid full price.

I have a development background but I found this book hard going. It was a little bit like being given a map and some directions but never being able to reach your destination - there was always something lacking or paragraphs went off at a tangent. I found that there was little logical structurein this book. I had to look for things in the later chapters before everything made sense in the earlier ones. I can't say I will be using this one as a reference. I think there are better ones around.

Pyron is the master MSP but I usually only read his books if I am having trouble sleeping or am willing to put up with his style (does he have an editor and tries to organize his material or just a stream of consciousness when he writes?).

I have just started reading the Server 2002 portions of Bucki and Chefetz and it is very well written. It is straightforward with real advice.
