Very well written study guide for preparation of PHR/SPHR exam. Infact, it's a very practical guide for any HR generalist role and a good starting point for HR specialists. Although, it is specific to US laws and regulations, the HR practices and principles discussed have global coverage.

It wasn't bad but I would never recommend it for light reading.

I passed the PHR test ( I am still waiting on the official results). This book was very helpful but I found other materials I used to work better. This should be one of your study materials but it should not be the only one.

It's decent, but I didn't find it necessary to study.

Tedious and dull but very informative.
