Summary: the software does come with a manual - reads a lot like this
Comment: i have to agree with the reviewer who said all of the info in this books is in the manual.
the filemaker pro manual is an easy read and comes with the software. if you have it, read it and keep your $20 in your pocket.
if you are looking for detailed information not covered in the manual, you will not find it here. the only place i have found any substantial filemaker pro information so far is scriptology, filemaker pro demystified by matt petrowsky and john osborne - an EXCELLENT filemaker pro book, something this visual quick start guide is not.

Summary: It is fast and easy!
Comment: I really enjoyed refreshing my skills with this book. It really saved me in a pinch. Nolan Hester was also available for questions via email which further enhanced the clarity of the book. I brought it with me everywhere and each topic could be grasped in a matter of 2-3 minutes. Thought it was great!

Summary: Save your money. It's all in the manual.
Comment: Since I am a Filemaker beginner, I wanted a book to get me up to speed quickly. Filemaker comes with two manuals, a "Getting Started" guide and a "User's Guide". They are pretty good, but I was in a hurry and hoped that the Visual Quickstart Guide would live up to its title. Regretfully, the Visual Quickstart Guide merely rehashes the same information that is available in the User Guide. In most cases, I found the User Guide's explanations to be clearer than those in this book. The author seems to have forgotten a basic principle - a book on a software product must add value to the product's included documentation. I found Visual Quickstart guide to be worthless in that regard. Eventually, I gave up on it and simply used Filemaker's manuals.
