Windows 7, Office 2010, Office 2013 Inside Out

Author Helen Gallagher has posted a review of Microsoft Office 2010 Inside Out over at Blogcritics.org.

It isn’t easy to use these features, but Bott and Siechert explain the steps with great care.

As usual, we tried to keep it light, but…

Because this book skips all the cartoons, jokes, and fluff in other publications, you’ll learn much more than you could just browsing through the programs.

Amazon (finally) is reporting that Microsoft Office 2010 Inside Out is now “in stock”—and at more than $20 off list, the price is good too. As an alternative to the printed book, the ebook is available in various formats (all DRM-free) at O’Reilly. Or show some love to your local bookseller, whether it’s a struggling megachain or an independent.

You can read an excerpt—a good chunk about OneNote from Chapter 15—at the Microsoft Press blog.

Our latest book, Microsoft Office 2010 Inside Out, is about to hit the streets. It’s available at Amazon (shipments begin Wednesday, September 29), directly from O’Reilly (where you can save a tree by purchasing an ebook), and (if you’re lucky enough to have one nearby) at fine bookstores everywhere.
