Negative Positive
Title: I too prefer the technical reference methodology
Review: I have nearly 15 years of report writing experience using Crystal, Oracle, Access and other less common report writing tools. I need to be able to hit the index, grab a topic and run with it. For example, shading alternate rows is a fundamental report tool. However, trying to find out how to do that in 60 seconds or less was impossible with this book. Further, I found that the order in which topics was presented was a bit "interesting", considering that publishing reports was one of the first topics covered. This may be a great book, but it just didn't fit my needs.
Is the review positive or negative?
