In addition, the QPM team works closely with the Microsoft team to support the rollout of the product and to provide input for future versions.

Kindle version, By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Special Edition Using Microsoft Office Project 2007 (Kindle Edition)
I am a long time MS Project user and have owned several Project books. I have read about 1/3 of this book and feel that it is excellent. It works in very helpful advice about project management principles so it is much more than a manual on how to use the software. This is the Kindle version which I generally love. It is great to have this 1,000 page manual available at my finger tips. The only reason I gave it four stars rather than five is that the illustrations don't show up very well in the Kindle. They really need to be enlarged to see them and I haven't found a way to do that with the Kindle. That is my only complaint.
Great book - Font too small, By

This a great book. It has no cd but perhaps a magnifying glass should be included. Whats up editors? Tried reading 1000pages with small font? This could be the first book that could get a user liability suit for damaging eyes! (a joke, but true).
