[Danielle · Rating 4 out of 5]

Extremely informative, but does have some overlap with other manuals (such as those offered by the CIC) and frequently cites books you may have read if you're in the industry. Overall, this is an invaluable tool and can be referenced for years and for many different event situations.

The best textbook I've ever read.

I mean not really, but required reading and a well laid out guideline for passing your CMP. Definitely read this one second, it helps solidify the terminology taught in the other CMP textbook with practical examples.
