5.0 out of 5 stars Very solid, April 28, 2007

By	Dimitri Shvorob (Nashville, Tennessee) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I agree with the previous reviewer, especially on the point that the book could benefit SAS beginners, not just the more seasoned programmers: it is clearly organized, and makes it easy to look up the topic of interest.
