Summary: If you're going to study, but another book. This one rots.
Comment: This is NOT the best self-study guide and claiming that it "teaches all the essential skills needed to advance your career" is a bunch of bunk.
I'd rather spend a little extra money on a truly complete guide or for each application and learn it right the first time, instead of wasting my time with this book.
Since the chapter on Access was so pathetic (coverage on Word and Excel was alright, but I'm sure someone has done better), I'm debating whether or not I even want to finish reading it.
It may cover the exams, but don't rely on it if you've never used any Office products before. Print out the objectives from the MOUS website, buy yourself some decent study guides (even if it does cost more), then take the exam.
If I could return it, I would.

Summary: Great Study Guide ... but no book replaces experience
Comment: I found this MOUS study guide to be quite helpful. To help you judge for yourself, a bit about me: I am a "power user" of Microsoft Office .. I've used it for many years, and I actually create and teach courses for MS Office products.
I bought this book to help me get certified for a few main reasons:
> It was one of very few that covered all 5 exams required for Office 2000 Master certification
> it contained a certification map which describes the various topics covered on each exam, for each level (Expert vs. Core) and its topics are organized in that matter
> it is designed to be a REVIEW tool, with quick, step by step instructions AND brief explanations so that the reader will gain a basic understanding of the topic not just a memorization of steps (it is not a "course" book and will not replace a class if that is what you need).
I rate this as a great study guide, as long as you have some prior knowledge of the products. DON'T RELY ON THIS (or any other study guide) IF YOU HAVE NO EXPERIENCE WITH MS OFFICE!!
P.S. I passed all five exams, in one day. Thanks to this study guide (the only review guide I used) and experience/practice.

Summary: A poor resource
Comment: First off, this book is not put together well - in more ways than one. After just studying the Excel portion, the pages started to come out - no joke. Secondly, this book is more scattered and smothered than Waffle House hash browns - if you catch my drift. There is neither ryhme nor reason as to its construction.
Also, is this Microsoft certified? - I don't see the Microsoft logo on the book. I mean, let's call a spade a spade, shall we? This book is weak at best.
