Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Databases are explained very well
I recently purchased this book and have only gotten through Chapter 2. So far I think that the book gives a good explanation of databases.
Not far enough into the book to offer much more, but the writing is good. The author makes it easy to understand the technical jargon.

item was delivered in a good condition but it was not shipped to my address even though I specified accurate address with apt number. I had to pick it up from post office!

Rating: - Simplified & easy to understand
The book is very helpful for novice learners of databases. It provides step-by-step guide to those who are new in database design and Microsoft Access. Key concepts like normalization are presented very clearly with relevant examples in business.
