Very, very shallow.
I was really disappointed with this book. I've never used Act before, and thought this would be a great book to start with. I read the whole book cover to cover in about 2 hours! 90% of the pages are full of screen shots. It glossed over synchronization, and also use with a Palm Pilot or CE device. If you are purely a user that wants to make ACT work at the most basic of levels, I guess this book would be OK. I went to a Brick & Mortar bookstore and looked at the other Act books. Special Edition Using Act 2000 looks *much* better. I've bought tons of stuff at Amazon and never returned a thing, but I think I'll return this book and buy Special Edition.

Fast & Easy It Is But Doesn't Go Into Explainations
If this is your first time with ACT! the book is good. It gives a screen by screen description of what keys to push. But if you have any problems, this book will not help. For instance, if you are importing a database into ACT! and don't know if it is a .txt or .dbf file you're up a creek.

Excellent for new users
This softback is excellent for new users. Well laid out and easy to follow.

The only reservation I have is that if you already know a little about ACT you may find it too simple.

None the less it is an excellent book for new users.
