A really good reference guide to Office 2013 (and Office 2010, since they aren't that different). It covers all of the basics, as well as a lot of the more advanced features. It's divided into sections for each part of the Office suite, so if you're never going to use, for example, Access, then you can easily skip everything having to do with it. It doesn't go into the more complicated features of Excel and Access, though 99% of users will never need to know about them. Overall, a good book for people new to Office, for people upgrading from '07 or '10, and for people who are familiar with Office, but need to look up something on occasions.

Just a really nice overview of the MS Office 2013 suite - cover what you need to know in a big thick book. Not really much you can say - other than if you need such a book this one will do you nicely.
