2.0 out of 5 stars A massive tome that fails to live up to its billing., October 14, 1998

This review is from: Special Edition Using Sap R/3: The Most Complete Reference (Hardcover)

This book is useful for two things: introducing neophytes to R/3 , and as a book end. Special Edition Using SAP R/3 is one of those volumes that is so bulky that it will look impressive and hold your other books in place. Readers who do not know SAP will learn enough about R/3 to understand the basic functions and architecture. If you have already decided to implement R/3 and have any background with the system, even if only an introductory course, skip this book. You will find it incomplete. If you know nothing about SAP feel like skipping the demos and spending a good portion of a hundred bucks get this book. If you need to fill four inches of bookshelf this volume will do it.
