Another great nutshell reference

This is another fine nutshell series book. It is easy enough to read, but gives enough detail to power users to allow them to uncover advanced features easily. The book is very well balanced. Beginnners may not feel right at home, but if you have been using Outlook for any period of time, this book is a valuable addition to your library. Well worth the price.

If you use outlook, buy this book

Anyone who has struggled to learn anything useful from a "How to be a Dummy in 24 Hours for Idiots" will love this book. I found the answers to half a dozen annoying questions in my first 15 minutes of browsing. The authors explain the underlying structure of the Outlook/Exchange data model so that Outlook's myriad ways of looking at and working with your data finally make sense.If you use Outlook, either by choice or by corporate fiat, buy this book.

A superb book from a superb series

Like many, I've come to depend on O'Reilly's ... In a Nutshell series for down-to-earth, no-nonsense advice that goes beyond the fluff and re-written help files common in other books. This book continues that tradition of excellence. It is comprehensive, accessible, and well-organized.I've used Outlook daily since Outlook 97 shipped in January, 1997, and I thought I knew most of what there was to know about the program. Not so. I found new and useful things in each chapter. This book is a real eye-opener, and I'd recommend it highly to anyone who uses Outlook and wants to get the most from it.I was fortunate enough to be a technical reviewer for this book, and it was obvious to me even while reading early drafts that this book was a winner. Having now seen it in printed form, I'm even more impressed. If you use Outlook, do yourself a favor and buy this book.
