I bought this book as a course requirement for a college computer literacy course. I have found this book to be a good starting point for the absolute beginner. You really need to use the included CD-Rom disc in order to complete the given exercises. The text is primarily composed of exercises based upon the templates included on the CD-Rom. If you have even the remotest familiarity with Windows 2007 and it's various programs then you will probably find more help within the Windows help menus rather than the text itself. This text was written and intended for the absolute beginner and is in no way meant to be, or usable as, a desk referrence.

**--Folks, the review section is for the item itself, not the condition of the item received!--**

This book is written in a step-by-step format and quickly becomes mind-numbing. This is learning by rote vs. comprehension; focusing on the process vs. the reasoning behind the process. Much of the terminology is incorrect in the exercises, and is inconsistent with the reading sections.

If you're forced to use this book, my condolences. If you have a choice, run - don't walk, to another book as fast as your feet can carry you.

The computer book I received for the price was wonderful and it was new with a CD program. I especially liked it when my bank account was hacked into right after I ordered this book. This was the first time I ever used Amazon to order a book for school. I'm not sure I will order from this site using this method of payment again.

i did have to purchase this very large book for a media graphic class, this spiral like book was helpful, useful step by step intructions, and if you miss a step you can get lost, so if you are unfamiliar with office 2007 os this is helpful i truly recommend this book.

I am currently enrolled in an online college. All our textbooks are digital, and I just really didn't like that idea. I bought this book for one of my classes, used. The condition of the book was excellent for a used book. The book itself is very simple and straightforward, easy to understand.

Good condition and shipping. NO SAM code in book, had to pay $80 at college bookstore for one. NOT WORTH IT!!!

This book was in great condition and I had no problems with my order; overall a very good seller.

Saved big money buying textbooks online! The book came in excellent condition, even better than some of the used books from the college bookstore.

I ordered my book...they lost it and couldn't find it, then decided to let me know 2 weeks after my classes had started. Did not respond to any emails sent inquiring about the book. My advice is order from someone else!

On amazon, it said it is a "like new" book, but the book was really in bad condition. few chaptors were missing and some pages were replaced by another book.
