Book Reviews of The OpenOffice.org 2 Guidebook
Book Review: Outstanding & Professionally Written Book
Summary: 5 Stars
I must say, I was instantly impressed with what an excellent book this is for "Real World" OpenOffice.org users! A book that's written for people, such as myself, who already know how to size a window / what a spreadsheet is / how to save a file /etc. Instead, Solveig did an excellent job in showing how to optimize OpenOffice.org by getting right to the point of what I need to know.
There were other things about this book that also impressed me:
1) The first think I personally look at upon comtemplating buying any type of computer book is:..... the INDEX ! Like many in this downsized workplace of today, I don't have the time to go on an "Easter Egg Hunt", trying to find the "candy" I need. The book's superlative index immediately won me over.
2) Ample Illustrations; Truer words were never spoken than "a picture is worth a thousand words". Again, the illustrations appeared to be applicable, sharply focused, and honed in on "where the function is at". Again, an excellent job.
3) A Business like writing style: I had previously purchased Robin Miller's book, "Point-And-Click OpenOffice.org", and it reads like it's intended audience is Mrs. Murphy's 4th Grade Class ! Solveig's writing style, on the other hand is user friendly, in a way that doesn't insult the intelligence of her readers. Again, I like that.
Bottom line: This is a book worth buying because it clearly explains just how much OpenOffice.org can do in a manner that instills confidence in the reader.
