A valuable resource for novice and advanced users. Sufficiently organized to allow one to navigate directly to a specific topic and glean concise information. Screen shots and detailed explanation are also helpful.

Over the years Marmel has always delivered a solid product on Microsoft Project. As far as I know, it is the only book on the market right now that has anything related to Project Server. Pretty amazing when you figure Project Server has been out for about 5 months. I see the QUE book on MS Project just came out, and I could be wrong but I didn't see any mention of Project Server in the table of contents. Seems everyone either missed the boat or is pretty late to market on this topic. As I see it, MS Project hasn't changed that much in 10 years so buying a book that doesn't address the enterprise doesn't make a lot of sense unless you are new to Microsoft Project. Great book!

I bought this book mainly for new features in 2007 MS Project. The book is very detailed and serves well for experts and beginners alike. I am quite happy with my purchase. I still have to explore the software provided on the attached CD. One thing it did not come with is 2007 MS project trial software.

Last thought: I wish these came like audio books with flash presentation. They can be in the $200 price range

Very well done and understandable to use with a complicated software. Great step by step info and best practices to keep in mind. Highly recommended.

This book makes no mention of PMBOK or PMI. The book puts forth ideas that are poor project management practice. I would think an author of a project management book (even if it is about a particular software product) would be familiar with PM best practices.

I gave it 2 stars because some of the information on MS Project is interesting, but I really think the author should understand good project management before showing us how to use the tool.

This book has quite a wealth of material on MS Project 2007. I've used it several times already to help debug or turn on various items in my project plans which helped me as a Project Manager. Only two areas where improvements would help this book would be to beef up the index section a bit - quite often I had to fumble around it a bit to find material in the body of this rather large book. Also a few PMBOK related ties (such as reporting and tracking information) would have been nice to have. When a Project Manager is finding something of use in the PMBOK, it would be nice to go to the index section of this guide and quickly find steps needed to generate that report or calculated value within MS Project 2007. Otherwise a great book to have as a reference guide.

Not a very useful book - wether for beginners rather than for professionals worked with former versions. If I want to have a feature List I will go to the Microsoft Homepage.
If you want to now something like "how to..." you have to try it for yourself - in this book you will not find any description. Wasted money!!!

the book was received in good condition, but did not appear to be brand new. the book was delivered in a timely manner and great price.
