This review is from: PMP: Project Management Professional Certification Kit (Paperback)

This is a really great book and kit to help you prepare for the PMP exam (which I am doing right now). It is easy to read, gives many real life examples and provides lots of sample questions.
Its strength is that you LEARN the material - not learn how to memorize the material. The only pitfall I would say that this has is that it doesn't cover all the inputs, tools and techniques and outputs. Yes, the material specifically states that this is not the book to use if you want to memorize those. However, it does cover most of them - but not to a point where you could accurately recite them all. The CD allows you to take the book with you on your computer - so you don't have to lug it around. The additional exam questions are very helpful too.
ALL in ALL this one is Great!
