Title: An incrediably poor job from Microsoft Press; AVOID!
Product review: I purchased the new, 2nd Edition of this title. First, the book is not all that well written, with typos and careless errors, and more importantly, content is only so-so. Many available study guides from major publishers that I have perused are a better choice; certainly no worse. However, I bought the title for the alternative learning expience of the "multimedia" CD, and of course one can't scan the book before purchase anyway because it is shrink wrapped. Be warned, the CD is a major disappointment. First, the CD does not install to the HD properly. Next, there are numerous discrepancies between the Labs and the text book. The Demos themselves are absolutely LAME! Also, they ARE NOT Multimedia - There are NO SOUNDS of any kind on the CD. How can the worlds largest publisher of so many excellent commercial software titles have released this ineffectual, unusable, and untested product? Have I made my point? DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!
