This review is from: Quality Management with SAP (Hardcover)

Way over priced for what you get. Authors apparently couldn't decide if they wanted to write an overview of QM, or a down and dirty QM for dummies book. Consequently, it is hard to imagine the book being particularly useful at any level. It doesn't go deeply enough into the guts of QM which seems to depend critically on configuration data that most people never see.

If you somehow got tapped as a "key user" save your money and spend it on pizza instead for all the late nights you will need to spend running scenarios to figure out how your implementation of SAP works.

Update: After thousands of dollars of SAP training, the book has some utility as a reference guide.
