I have only found it useful once so far. If you like reading and want to read the book, it's great, but if you just need quick reference to do something specific, it's a waste. Office 2007 is very different from 2003 version in that they've moved things around to different areas, so I know the old commands, I just can't find them in 2007. I thought the book would help with that, but it doesn't.
