5.0 out of 5 stars A disappointment; based on older releases
Bought it and returned it shortly thereafter. This book is very basic, has no depth where one typically needs it, and covers a limited range of topics. Not much better than the basic Help provided by the software. Most disappointing is the fact that the book is based on releases 3.0 and earlier. Not worth the money.

1.0 out of 5 stars Outdated, neither for advanced user nor beginner
Most of the content is tailored for SAP R/3 Release 3 and it contains several descriptions and references to Release 2.2.

The massive use of SAP terminology will be very confusing for SAP newbies. The diagrams are very dry and don't offer much additional insights into the concepts described in the text.

1.0 out of 5 stars Outdated, neither for advanced user nor beginner, October 7, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: SAP(R) R/3(R) Administration (Hardcover)
Most of the content is tailored for SAP R/3 Release 3 and it contains several descriptions and references to Release 2.2.

The massive use of SAP terminology will be very confusing for SAP newbies. The diagrams are very dry and don't offer much additional insights into the concepts described in the text.

For experienced SAP adminstrators the book is just too thin to be of any use. Better go for the 900+ pages SAP handbook.

The translation from the German original is quite mediocre. On several occasions you can see the original shine through. Most of the presented examples contain German names for tables, fields or variables. For readers without knowledge of the German language some of the examples could be quite hard to understand (I'm German myself so no problem here).

1.0 out of 5 stars SAP on-line help is far better!, December 29, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: SAP(R) R/3(R) Administration (Hardcover)
This a badly translated book, i.e. not written originally in English. The book does not have a focal point. It is only abstracts form the on-line help. Does not worth the money.
