This review is from: Mastering Microsoft Project 2002 (Paperback)

(Sorry I'm not taking a lot of time writing this, but)
If you are new to MS Project, start with this book. I own four books on MS Project 2002/2003, and this is the best one for learning MS Project, the tool. It has excellent explanations to understand some of the very important features in Project, such as "Task Type". 4/5 stars becuase I don't see that the authors have released the MSP 2003 edition.

Once you're a proficient user of MS Project (you know how to find all the features available in the menus etc., continue your success and buy "Dynamic Scheduling with MS project 2003 by Eric Uyttewaal". Expensive, but worth every penny.
