A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge, Third Edition (PMBOK Guides)

It showed me the book was delivered on USPS website and I had no idea where it was (It sure had not been delivered). So I contacted Amazon and they responded to me within 2 hrs that the package might have been lost and dispatched a new one immediately. I got the book within 2 days by UPS.
3 days later I get a letter from USPS saying - We missed you (they came delivering after the UPS delivery) - Really bad USPS service. And This hasn't been the first time this has happened in our area either.
However Amazon is one of the best places you can shop at. I hope they maintain their customer service. Its just 5 star service.

You've probably heard that a camel is a horse designed by committee. Well, the PMBOK is such a "horse". It is badly organized, frequently laced with redundant content, and it is BORING. It reads like one of those badly-written goverment procurement specifications --- which I used to write, by the way, before I gained real-world knowledge.

An experienced reader should be suspicious of any book (such as this one) to which a human author will not sign his or her name. I unfortunately put my skepticism aside long enough to make a purchase which I now regret.

There are better books on management out there. Keep looking!

I was required to purchase this book as a part of a class for my master's degree. While I am not a project manager nor do I have a desire to become one, this was a required course. After reading this book over and over again, I realized that I was getting very little useful information out of it. The book does have a good amount of knowledge to transfer, but it is extremely difficult to read. The index is horrible to be point of being nearly useless.

The title for the book is too much for what you can find inside. They cared much more about the definitions than the actions. It's not really a "guide" when you can't find in few words what are you looking for.

The book is good and provides you enough information regarding PM, but as it is not written by "professional authors" who are used to writting books, it has its limitations. But this book is one of its kind in the market!
