Greatest Outlook Book Ever5
It is what we call simplicity that works. The book is arranged in such a way that focus the issues instead of pure Outlooks tools and bolts. It is an item that every computer user must have in his bookshelf.

Practical advice for improving your life 5
I thougt this book was great. It has basic, practical advice for keeping your life in order using Outlook. It's not a manual on Outlook, so don't expect all kinds of instructions on each command and option -- Instead, it has steps for setting up business and home solutions for managing your life -- like how to share your Outlook information with your wife and kids while you're traveling. I also liked the part about email personality styles -- how people send emails when they don't need to and what you can do about it.

If you're looking for a book about how to use Outlook, check out one of the others. If you want to save time and manage your information and contacts better, then you're sure to find something in this book that makes it worth the cover price.
