Summary: PM's Best Friend
Comment: While my favorite text on project management is Visualizing Project Management, this handly treasure chest of PM knowledge and techniques is my constant companion. It is much more than a quick reference quide - it contains a lot of information that I haven't stumbled across in any other project management book, such as metrics, estimating techniques and sound advice on a number of PM topics that are presented concisely. In other words, this book has a lot of meat and no fluff.
If you are starting out as a project manager I recommend Visualizing Project Management as your first book. However, if you are a practicing and experienced project manager this is "must-have". And the price is right! When was the last time you found a decent book on project management (or any other technical or business subject) priced below $15.00? Price aside, the value of this book is the content and the fact that it covers project management the way it should be covered: work breakdown structures, risk management, earned value and other controls. I strongly recommend this book.

Summary: Verzuh's written the book on getting your ducks lined up.
Comment: If you're attempting to get a clear understanding of project management techniques in a hurry, then look no further. If you've been at this project stuff for years and just need a refresher on the latest language and ideas, then get this book. It's well thought out, well set out, clearly explained and brilliantly presents real-life examples to support the project process. You truly get the sense that the author has been out there in the firing line. Previously I've found project management books make an excellent cure for insomnia, but this one keeps those Grey cells buzzing. And once you've read it, keep it with you for reference. Since getting the book, you can bet I don't travel on a consulting assignment without this little guy stashed somewhere in my carry-on bags.

Summary: Gives theoretical knowledge only
Comment: I ordered two project management books - this one by Verzuh and one called "Fundamentals of Project Management: Developing Core Competencies to Help Outperform the Competition" 2nd edition by James Lewis.
This one by Verzuh described core project managment procedures but lacked many real-world examples of these procedures in action, other than cursory remarks about how some process helped some company.
The book by Lewis was much more practical and seemed to be written from a person who had actually done lots of PM work rather than learned the theory and then wrote a book on it.
