This may be useful for someone who knows absolutely nothing about an Access course but as I have been planning on starting an Access course for several years & just completed a Pre-Access course this "book" (37 pages) is pretty much useless. It lacks the depth and detail I was looking for. Also it is quite obviously made specifically for e-readers, at one point it says "click here"... which is kind of hard to do with a physical copy.
The only redeeming factor is the description of action verbs for assignments, however, these are easily found online.
