Adobe Photoshop CS2 Classroom in a Book Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I have been using Adobe Photoshop since version 5.5, but didnt really get into it seriously until Photoshop CS (8).

Building Accounting Systems Using Access 2007 Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This book does a relative good job teaching you access. There is no accounting part. The author tries to build a database to be used as an accounting system. The database is so simple and badly desingned that I cannot extend it for a real business database. You won't see anything close to an accounting...

However, it...

Chemistry (Cliffs AP) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I could go off and brag about how well I did on the exam and then say it was all because of this or that. I'm going to skip that and get straight down to it. It is like a formula sheet. This book is great if you understand what the equations are for. If you don't, you might consider another book. Currently...

SAT II: Math Level IC (REA) -- The Best Test Prep for the SAT II (SAT PSAT ACT (College Admission) Prep) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I've been teaching SAT and SAT II courses professionally for around 5 years, and I can honestly say that this title was one of the least-popular and least-helpful books I have EVER used. The title (or sub-title) of the book states that this is the most comprehensive title available -- that's the problem....
