4.0 out of 5 stars Intended Audience: College Students, December 12, 2008

By	deekaye (Chattanooga, TN) - See all my reviews

This is a textbook intended for non-technical college students. It is very well produced with excellent layout, clear graphics, and tightly-edited writing. There is broad coverage of the major OneNote features, with numerous examples and exercises. The coverage tends to be introductory, with detailed, step-by-step, hands-on guides. The examples are diverse, and provide interesting inspiration for possible OneNote applications.

I'm writing this review, the first, so that other buyers can understand the focus of this book, before they buy it. I am not a teacher, so can't review the many pedagogic features of the text (which have the potential to get in the way if you aren't a teacher or student). I am an engineer with lots of computer experience, and was looking for a concise, in-depth, technical reference to OneNote. This book does not fill that purpose. A savvy Office 2007 user would learn little that can't be found already (and faster) in the many help resources that are part of Office. However, as a textbook for its intended audience, it appears to be very good.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not what I expected, March 16, 2009

By	G. Wysocki "G. Wysocki" (Livonia MI) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is what seems to be a possible supplement to a text book used in a classroom setting. The information is directed at students involving case studies and assignments relating to those studies. I purchased a computer with OneNote 2007 already installed. All I want to do is learn aspects of OneNOte for my own personal use. There is not much written on the subject. I am not returning the book because I am sure it will be helpful to me, however, had I known the book only has 68 pages, I would have never purchased it at the hefty price of $22.79+S&H.

1.0 out of 5 stars exploring onenote, February 4, 2009

By	goobersmom (Kansas, USA) - See all my reviews

I was disappointed -- was looking for help on making templates in Word and using them in Onenote -- NOT helpful. Also disappointed that this was book 1 (didn't see book 2 or 3 for sale) -- didn't know that until after it was purchased.
