Very Useful Instruction - By: P. Robertshaw, 27 May 2008 
As the title suggests, the book is a step by step guide to Office Project 2007. It walks you through all of the different aspects of Project that a new or intermediate user could be expected to know or benefit from. It also provides a number of "tips" where a more advanced or enquiring user may want to find further information. The layout & structure of the book is very good, which could reasonably be expected, with "Chapters at a Glance", "Summaries of topics covered", "Key points" & very clear formatting to help the reader/user.
As a previous user of an older version of Project, I bought the book as both a refresher to Project & an introduction to the new 07 version. It has certainly delivered on both these counts. However, I would imagine that if I need to develop a more detailed level of knowledge about the software I would probably end up buying a supplemental book as well.
I will be using Project professionally & will need to share my project plans with other stakeholders,in light of this I found the following chapters particularly useful:
*Organising & Formatting Project Details
*Printing Project Information
*Sharing Project Information with Other Programs

Exceptionally well-written book which almost falls over itself to be helpful, with the Chapter At A Glance page at the start of each chapter & the Quick Reference pages at the beginning.
I've got three other books on Project 2007 & this is easily the most readable & enjoyable. It keeps you interested with the well-worked examples on disc for you to follow along with & imparts a very good depth & breadth of information.
I was uncomfortable with Project before reading this book & tried a lot of tinkering with the softwarein an attempt to ease my uncertainties. This book takes a lot of the donkey-work out of that process by giving solid exercises to guide you each step of the way.
It gets you up & runningin no time & leaves you keen to explore even deeper. The last 50 pages introduce Server but the main thrust is with the desktop application; perfect for my working requirements.
One of the few books which takes the frustration out of the learning process - no hesitationin giving it a maximum 5 out of 5.
