Title: The Best Illustrated Introductory Book I've Seen
Review: The Maran Illustrated books are unquestionably the most heavily illustrated books available. In this book, as you just might guess from the title, covers Excell 2003.This is probably the best book I've ever seen for the complete beginner. If you've just turned a computer on for the first time, this book will get you started very well. One of the tests I use for the depth of information contained in a book on Excel is checking to see if the book talks about pivot tables. These are handy tools to change the way information is summarized. Pivot tables, however, are a pretty good step above what the beginner can be expected to grasp in his first book. This book didn't cover this area at all.So the level of this book is pretty basic. It's not what the help desk needs, it's for the beginner. At the same time, it is complete enough that the user is not likely to have any trouble getting useful work out of the computer. Highly recommended.
