A massive help guide!5
Having been a user of Cognos products back to Impromptu version 4, this is the first comprehensive guide/manual that delivers what it promises!
Well worth the price!

Good Product4
While I have not read this book completely. It is a good book for those who want more insight in Report Studio, Framework Manager, Analysis Studio and etc. However, this book is not a good resource for Cognos Administrators. Administrators should stick to the Cognos documentation and resources.

Helpful Material3
This book gives you a fast overview of all aspects of Cognos and is written in language you can understand. You are going to need the Cognos reference manuals once you start developing but the book will help clear up areas the manuals do a poor job explaining.
