Reviews

[James · Rating 4 out of 5]

Useful, but still not up to the level of the books I'm used to seeing from Cybex and Que about Windows and MS Office. I'm still learning my way around OpenOffice, though, so this one is parked next to the computer and will no doubt pay for itself many times over in time and frustration avoided.
