Summary: Definitely not a step by step beginners guide
Comment: This book fails to relay the required learning material to the reader in a step by step approach, instead the book largely reads like a novel, and often at times you may find yourself just trying to keep your finger on the page to allow an idea of where you're up to. The author seems to be so caught up in the examples included, the reader must wonder at times if the book is a manual for the included examples, or an actual learning tool to understand Access. The author often requests the reader to complete a task then realizes three or four pages later that he's forgotten to explain how! On the positive side, the book is totally complete in its content, although definitely not aimed at the absolute beginner.

Summary: Not for Beginners
Comment: If your looking for a way to begin using Microsoft Access 97 this book is not for you. A better route would be Microsoft's Access 97 Step-by-Step. The step-by-step series is a good place to start learning the fundamentals of Access 97. Even though Running Microsoft Access 97 begins with some of the basics, this book is taylored for the individual with more experience. I am a database management major and understand that this book can be a little dry and drag a bit for those who are just beginning. I've been there.

Summary: Very difficult to read
Comment: The first feeling after reading it is that the layout, fonts of the contents are very poor.
Also, the examples are not useful enough and it makes the readers hard to understand the concepts. Most of the graphics do not help the readers know what the author is explaining.
It has too many concepts but do not contain steps for the readers to follow. If you want a book which is user-friendly, look for other books. The publisher should illustrate the steps in points-form, not in big blocks of paragraph. Learning Access should have clear steps to follow, even the advanced skills like the Form, Report or Macro programming.
