I’m sorry that I describe this book as “absolute crap,” but it really is. If you have never used a computer before, then this book will probably help you out (but so will the instruction manual for the computer program you are trying to learn, those “Computers for Dummies” books, and YouTube, and you will spend a hell of a lot less money). Otherwise, it is an abomination that such a book can exist, be published by a reputable legal resource publishing company, and be sold to the public for nearly $200.00.

If you are buying this book for class (like I was forced to), do yourself a favor and buy a used copy. However, if you are buying this to improve your ability to use computers in the legal workplace, you don’t need this book.

Amazon Verified Purchase(http://www.amazon.com/gp/community-help/amazon-verified-purchase/190-2396333-1511036', ‘AmazonHelp’, ‘width=400,height=500,resizable=1,scrollbars=1,toolbar=0,status=1′);return false; “>What’s this?)

This review is from: Using Computers in the Law Office (with Workbook) (Paperback)

I wish that I could obtain the cd with the ebook or kindle version and/or with used version since I usually buy used books, but in this case, I had to get the new version. I also wish this edition included instructions for Microsoft 2010 instead od instructions users to use 2007 instruactions. The functions are slightly different from the two versions, and takes me a tad bit longer to follow the directions.

Other than that, the book and cd are very useful, and hope to make an ‘A’ in the class!
