Summary: A good *basic* intro for new trainers
Comment: As someone with many years of experience teaching adults, I found this to be a very fundamental, baseline introduction to adult instructional techniques. That's not to say this is a bad thing; just that I believe new instructors will get a lot more out of it than those with some years under their belts.
The author covers the basics of adult learning theory, some methods and techniques, and provides good examples of what he's talking about. There are ample tables, sample sheets, and illustrations -- though I did find some of the ostensibly "humorous" illustrations tiresome after a few pages. In any event, material is broken down into logical chunks, and these are then broken down further into digestible points for the reader.
If you're brand-new to training and need a good introductory reference, I recommend this one. It delivers what you need, in a readable and mostly-enjoyable style. If you are an experienced instructor, or need a more in-depth analysis of adult learning theory and practice, perhaps another book would be better -- maybe Bob Pike's _Creative Training Techniques Handbook_.

Summary: Solid Basic Guide for First Time Trainers
Comment: If you have a generic training session to conduct, and want a quick, large format guide to training and training preparation, this is a reasonable choice. I used a few of the checklists for course design. However, for computer training needs, there are better choices such as Paul Clothier's Computer Training book. For general practice and theory of adult learning, I would recommend Robert Pike's Training Techniques book.

Summary: Basic, Basic, Basic!!!
Comment: The book offers extremely limited "trainer" information, and delivers basic common sense information. If you interested in learning more about the field, there are far better "basic" books available on the subject. The format of the book is poorly structured, and doesn't convey needed training knowledge.
