1.0 out of 5 stars Badly needs reorganizing, December 1, 2003

This review is from: New Perspectives on Microsoft Excel 2002 - Comprehensive (Paperback)

A comprehensive but terribly organized book. It is of little use to someone trying to teach himself/herself, and the poor quality of the index makes it useless as a work of reference.

Avoid it.

Maybe if you have an instructor holding your hand you can figure out how to use the information in this book. Don't buy it if your trying to learn it yourself, what a waste of $.
