What Customers Say About Information Technology Project Management, Reprint (with Microsoft Project 2007):

Hi I bought it new because the used ones says book only, etc. wasn't sure what they meant. Basically if you buy new you get a trial of MS Project (which you can get for the same length at microsoft.com) and access to those online tools from the publisher.Honestly, you'll be fine without both of them, so I'd just say save a few bucks and buy it used. Don't bother for the new.

Trouble is, the author forgot or ignores the fundamentals of Writing 210. This text was used for a 100 level community college class, I suspect because it is very comprehensive. The writing style is overly and unnecessarily dense, far too often in the passive voice. The glossary at the end of each chapter is outstanding. The index is good but could be improved. The topic is loaded with jargon and the author does nothing to mitigate the jargon but seems rather to embrace it much like she does the passive voice, repeating the same jargon from sentence to subsequent sentence. My hunch is that no editor has ever touched the text itself because such a large percentage of the syntax would need adjustment -- substantially a rewrite.The author knows her stuff; I would hire her as a project manager in an instant but I hope instructors look elsewhere for their text in order to spare their students from such a burdensome read.
