Good but Bloated

This book contains just about all of the information that you need to become very proficient with Microsoft Project; however, as with most technically-oriented books, it is terribly bloated. This 750-page monster could easily be trimmed down to about 300 pages. Being a busy project manager, I would have really welcomed a less prolix text. The sections on Project Server are very welcomed, but I really don't think it is necessary to take several pages explaining what the Internet, a browser, and a hyperlink are.Overall, it's a good source, but you will not be reading each page to get to where you need to be.
