Exploring Microsoft Office 2003 Vol. 1 by Robert Grauer.......2005-09-27
Book as described and in good condition; received it in a timely fashion. Would buy from again.
An Extended Handbook to Microsoft Office........2005-05-03
EXPLORING MICROSOFT OFFICE 2003 VOLUME 1 is a textbook that is basically an extended handbook on Microsoft Office. The book has what I would consider six major sections: basics of Microsoft Windows XP, Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, the Internet and the world wide web, and some essential computing concepts. The sections dealing with Windows, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint contain all kinds of helpful hands-on exercises. The Internet and essential computing concepts sections don't have quite as many exercises and contain a little more book rather than hands-on knowledge. To be completely honest, this book is rather boring to read and work through on one's own. However, when used in conjuncture with a class, it makes a great tool.

book purchase.......2007-05-24
Timely delivery and exactly as ordered. I would order from them again.
Useless.......2007-03-25
I consider this book to be useless for intermediate accounting students. It contains only several pages of terms and their definitions presented in the order used in the text. Intermediate accounting students should already be familiar with most of these terms or be able to more easily find them in the text or Study Guide. There are no working problems or even a hint of them in this book. Students would be much better off spending their money on the useful Study Guide and/or a Solutions Manual.
Only gives you definitions of terms........2007-03-19
I got this book to help me study the text better but this is only good for definitions. It doesn't explain any problems at all! The publisher's study guide is the best to use if you want explainations of problems.

Problem-Solving Survival Guide: Intermediate Accounting Vol. 2, Chapters 15-24.......2007-01-05
The problem solving guide gave excellent chapter sumarry for test review. The additional tips and explanations aided my understanding of the material and working through the problems showed practical applications of the material. I think it improved my class grade from a C to a high B. Highly reccomend it to students like me.
The Vol. 2 is not as good as Vol. 1.......2006-03-10
I received the book recently. Compared with its Vol. 1, this book is not as good. I've just gone over Chapters 14 and 15. The examples are not as clearly presented as the ones in Vol. 1. I have to say this book is not up to my expectations, but the book, of course, can still help.
Must have to accompany the textbook.......2005-10-20
The title, Survival Guide, is exactly as it means. This workbook, that accompanies `Intermediate Accounting' by Donald Kieso, is necessary to survive and understand intermediate accounting! The key is it gives you many more examples and probable situations to solve than the textbook could handle. I would not have done as well as I did in class without it!
Problem-Solving Survival Guide: Int Act. Vol. 2 Ch 15-24.......2005-09-24
Completing the workbook items really helps reinforce concepts and offers great practice for tests. The book is not perfect. There's an occasional typo, and I wish there was more space to write in the workbook, and I was expecting it to cost a bit less, but in my opinion the book is very worthwhile to use.
Intermediate Accounting.......2005-08-03
Haven't used this book yet. Will next semester. Volume I of this series was of great use to me. By practising the exercises my memory retention and understanding went a whole lot further. I would say this would be a worthwhile purchase.

Helpful.......2007-03-25
Although the instructions say to read the Study Guide after the text. I prefer to read it first. The summaries are a great introduction to the topic before class lectures and make the text more understandable - it's easier to comprehend the big picture of the chapter in the summaries than when reading 20 - 30 pages of text. True/False and multiple choice questions are also helpful. Explanations of False answers are given in the answer section.
Absolutely Essential!!!.......2007-03-15
The Survival Guide provides the reader with an approach for solving the exercises and problems in the Intermediate Accounting textbook. This guide will help you develop the ability to solve accounting problems. It offers the reader SUMMARY OF LEARNING OBJECTIVES, TIPS ON CHAPTER TOPICS, and addtional illustrations not in the textbook. As I said before, and it's worth say it again, the real value of this guide is it provides the reader with an approach to solving the problems. This in turn gives one an excellent feel for how to apply the material presented in the textbook. I find the ANALYSIS OF MULTIPLE-CHOICE TYPE QUESTIONS an excellent way to sharpen my knowledge of the material. When working through the questions I find myself constantly reviewing the textbook which is key to internalizing the material. In short, if you really want to learn this material get this guide. That way by test time you will be bringing your 'A' game.
Worth the money.......2007-02-09
This guide breaks down the chapter and gives you plenty of clear instruction. It also gives some exercises very useful in sharpening your knowledge.
get a wrong book, waste money.......2006-07-26
I order a wrong book, when I open it, I realized I wouldn't use it at all, but i don't know how to return it. so it just wasted my money even though it is a good book
Book Description
The new Microsoft Certified Desktop Support Technician (MCDST) credential proves that you have the skills to successfully support end users and successfully troubleshoot desktop environments running on Windows XP. MCDST candidates must pass two core exams (70-271 and 70-272). The 70-271 exam, when combined with the 70-272 (the application exam for desktop support technicians), validates that a candidate can successfully answer (or escalate) all calls from end users. Co-written by best-selling author Dan Balter, the MCDST 70-271 Exam Cram 2 gives readers the essential information they need to know to pass this exam, focusing on exactly what they need to know. This book can be used as a sole study guide for those experienced with Windows XP or it is the perfect supplement guide for more comprehensive training materials, instructor-led classes, and/or computer-based training.

Pretty Good.......2007-05-08
I passed the test so I guess that means the book worked. It was actually supplemental material. My first choice is always Sybex. This is a decent book, it went too much into the Remote Installation for what I had on the test but the test may be different for you.
Good, but problematic...........2006-09-23
I just passed my 70-271 exam and I do believe this book was an important factor in my score. However this book is problematic.
1.) The MeasureUp practice exam questions are 50 of the same questions found in the Microsoft Press book for the same exam. But that book has 261 more questions than this one.
2.) The questions in the book are far more difficult than necessary and many are more appropriate for the MCSA/MCSE exam 70-270.
3.) There are too many typographic errors to name. The major ones have been mentioned by other reviewers.
4.) There is no information on service pack 2.
I intend on using my MCDST credentials as an elective exam for the MCSA, so I appreciate the difficulty of the questions but by attempting to attain an 85% to 90% on the practice exams in the back of this book I had thoroughly convinced myself that I would fail the test and was very close to rescheduling it. I did not, and I passed my test with more than 200 point over the minimum score.
To this books credit I have found the information very useful in my job. I have received several calls from users with processor affinity problems or with 16 bit program errors that I know how to solve immediately because of the high standards set by the questions in this book. I am, therefore, very satisfied with my purchase.
Don't use this book as a primary study guide.......2006-07-30
There's a lot of unnecessary info in this book that you won't even see on the exam. The practice questions in the book are way too wordy and confusing. Exam Cram has helped me in the past, but not this time.
Don't buy this book, it's awful........2005-12-12
I believe my email to the editor explains it all. I have copied and pasted it below.
Mr. Tittel,
I have been a huge fan of your Exam Cram books for the last few years and they have helped me pass my A+, Network+, and CCNA certifications. Currently I am working of my MCDST certification and bought your books expecting the same standards your other books hold. Unfortunately, your Exam 70-271 Supporting Users and Troubleshooting a Windows XP operating System is not only a disgrace to your line of books, but to you as the editor. I have to ask; did you even read the book or edit it? There are too many spelling and grammatical errors to even list in this book. Many times it should say drive, and instead it says driver or vice versa. You have many of the wizards name's wrong, such as on page 200 first line under Migrating User Settings with the File Settings and Transfer Wizard it says "The File Settings and Transfer (FAST) Wizard." The funny thing is it's the File and Settings Transfer Wizard, otherwise FAST makes no sense the way it is printed and if that's not bad enough on page 201 you have a screenshot of the wizard showing it's correct name. The questions you ask in this book also are horrendous because they contradict what is true or just make no sense. Here is an example of a contradiction. Earlier in the book it says Windows XP can't be upgraded from Windows 95, this is true, but then in question 6 on page 213 it says "After upgrading a group of computers running Windows 95 to Windows XP Professional." See something wrong there? Here is an example of a question making no sense. Look at question 23 on page 336. The question asks for the Power User group and the Administrator group, so logically and correctly the answer should be A, but no you have it as answer C which is the same exact thing as A but leaves out the Administrator group so it would be wrong. In conclusion I must say this was one of the most poorly written and poorly edited books I have ever read. So please, revise this book immediately and get any remaining ones of the shelves because most people are furious about this, you should check out the reviews on Amazon.com and elsewhere.
Good book, relevant material.......2005-09-15
Overall it was a good book withs lots of relevant material. I actually learned some things about XP that I was not already aware of. I haven't taken the test yet, but with the included Cheat Sheet and CDROM, I think I will be well prepared.

Thousands of Practice Questions and Simulations.......2006-07-28
This book contains thousands of multiple choice questions and quite a few simulations. I am using it in addition to a Becker review course. It has some of the same questions as the Becker material (probably 30 percent), but there are many questions not included in Becker, and some of them have a very different focus and style. I think this makes the book worth the $60 price, just to fill in the gaps. If you are not using a review course, the Wiley reviews are also recommended, individually or in the four volume set.
Book Description
Practical examples of all important concepts and procedures enrich this clear, logical, and popular guide to financial accounting. This new edition updates material about cash flows and accounting rules and includes new information about accounting software, payroll accounting and federal income taxes. The hundreds of problems with step-by-step solutions prepare students for success with everyday practice and with the CPA exam. Typical exam questions with answers help students measure their comprehension and progress.

Straight and to the point.......2006-07-27
Most texts I've read on Accounting (from my father's extensive library) are long on explanation and short on worked examples. The Schaum series on Accounting is just the opposite. No need to wade through a ton of explanation. A short explanation is followed by worked examples and numerous test questions followed by the answers, fully worked. I'm just starting out in accounting, and sometimes the concepts didn't really gel with me. But by doing the test questions, and in particular being able to check the results and supplied workings, I found that I learnt the principles much more quickly than I would have otherwise, and was able to retain the understanding.
I borrowed this book from my local library, but then I decided it was a perfect reference book to own.
And I bought almost the entire set of the Schaum's accounting series on the strength of my experience with this learning approach.
An excellent book - an excellent series.
Well Organized Material.......2005-11-23
Schaum's Financial Accounting is a well-written book which augmented my accounting studies.
I especially like the way the table of content is organized. The first three chapters provide an introduction to financial accounting, financial statements and the process of analyzing and recording transactions.
The next three chapters spend time on adjusting and closing entries and then on trial balance worksheets (both for service-oriented and merchandise-oriented businesses). This sets the stage for examining all major aspects of the balance sheet, which chapters 7 through 12 cover.
Following Schaums Outlines typical format, this book presents material in an easy-to-understand manner and then offers the reader with opportunities to solidify their understanding of course material through "Solved Problems" and chapter-end questions.
Shim and Siegel do a fine job of keeping material concise while discussing all major topical points.
They conclude their book with chapters covering partnerships, financial statement analysis, statement of cash flows and multinational operations.
This book merits a 3 1/2 star rating. You might consider Schaums Principles of Accounting I and II for a more thorough examination of the same topical material. However, if you wish to buy just "one book" to augment your studies, "Financial Management" would be a fine choice.
Schaum's Financial Accounting 2 Ed. .......2005-10-14
I am an accounting student. I love this book! I have bought all the Schaum's books related to Accounting. If I had to choose just one book, it would be this one. I get lost trying to follow our textbook. I open this puppy up and it has everything. I'm able to follow the explanations and examples without any problem. Trust me! You will not be disappointed. I was very impressed by how fast my books got to me. I had books coming to me within 2 days. In less than one week's time, I had all 7 books. It really is worth it. :-)
Good Investment.......2000-09-28
I bought this book to complement a senior level financial accounting course that I took. The book is concise, provides plenty of examples, and helps to solidify theories & actual practices of financial accounting. There are plenty of exercises to go through to help solidify your practical understanding of the material. I found that it was particulary useful to help me review & brush up before my tests in my financial accounting course. Overall a good investment.

This book can be used as a sole study guide for those experienced with Windows XP or it is the perfect supplement guide for more comprehensive training materials, instructor-led classes, and/or computer-based training.

Deeply insufficient.......2005-12-28
My IT background: ten years as a Unix admin, pursuing a Master's degree in Telecom. Extensive familiarity with desktop OS's and apps both as a user and LAN admin.
Newcomers to IT hoping to use this book as a primary study source will be disappointed.
I scored a 754 on 70-272 (700 is passing). The Exam Cram helped a bit in focusing which aspects of the Office, Outlook, and IE GUIs with which to become familiar. However, entire topics on the exam were completely unaddressed by this book ("Security Center", GPOs). Moreover, The book was apparently written before XP SP2 was released; the test requires knowledge of SP2 features.
Use As Back Up to Your Other Study Guide "ONLY".......2005-04-08
I will say that I am a fan of ExamCram2 Series of Study Guides, and that is what they are: "Study Guides". I was disappointed about the lack of material in this guide, do not rely on this book to pass the 70-272 Exam. If you pass the test just by reading this book you may have all ready had enough knowledge to pass. This book does not cover all the material in the exam by any means. The MeasureUp testing software is nice to get you use to the way some of the exam questions are. I would use this book to just go over questions and answers before you do a final write. I highly suggest to get Microsoft 70-272 Training Kit if you are new to alot of the material covered by this exam.
Needs a little more meat........2004-07-24
I recently became involved in a project to setup a course for the 2 new MCDST exam, 70-271 and 70-272. These new exams appear to give you an entry in the Microsoft arena with out requiring a full blown MCSE track. The book takes the finer points of the objectives and breaks it down in to 9 chapters.
The 70-272 exam is focused on the application side of XP and with that this book shows you a lot of customizing, optimizing, configuration and troubleshooting. You'll cover XP, email, Office and the internet and the book includes 2 complete practice exams.
The book has a cd rom with the Measure UP testing engine, but there should be more questions included. Overall this should be on the list of material to use in the study process.
Not enough depth.......2004-07-11
This book provides a good high level overview of the material. The main shortcoming is that it makes statements like "make sure you know this or that" but doesn't explain or provide examples. I took the test and passed, but don't think this book contributed a lot to my success. This book is worth a read, but don't rely on it.
Not Enough.......2004-07-01
The book had a lot of useful information, however it did not really go indepth on any of the subjects. I wish the book had given more examples or details on the topic. It provided only 145 questions, compared to other books for the test that provided over 300. I gave the book 3 stars because it is a useful study guide that can fit into my purse so I can take it everywhere. I would suggest reading something more in depth first.
