Review of Complete Idiot's Guide to Microsoft Office 2000 (Paperback)

I have to admit that I'm becoming addicted to the idiot's guides.Contrary to their title, they help experts and idiots alike.For thenovice, most of this material may be new, but even the expert can pick upsome great tips.The book is divided into the major office programs: Word, Outlook, Access, Powerpoint and Excel.Though individual books focusin more detail on each of these programs, there is certainly enoughinformation here to do the majority of projects that most people would beinclined to do.The great thing about these guides is that you willsuddenly find yourself unable to unlock a much higher potential of thesepowerful programs, particularly in Excel.The chapter on Excel is veryeasy to follow and teaches you how to do the most common formulas likeautosum.Even regular Word users will perfect the art of making tables,even for such common items as resumes.The format is extremely readableand easy to follow.I find that these guides only take a few hours toread, but the effects last for months.Highly recommended for anyone whowants a quick refresher course on the most common features of these officeprograms.

Review of Unlikely Destinations: The Lonely Planet Story (Paperback)

I'm not a person who generally reads armchair travel books. For the most part, I stick to fiction. But when my sister handed me this book and I started reading it (on the train, I was *really* bored), I just couldn't put it down!
Unlikely Destinations is more than just a travel story, although the places the Wheelers have been, how they got where they were going and what they've seen & experienced are incredibly thrilling in and of themselves. But this is also a love story between two people and between a married couple and travel, and eventually, a family of four and travel. It's a business adventure and cautionary tale, about starting your own business from nothing and turning it into a multi-million dollar company, despite or perhaps because of the many bumps encountered along the way. This is not a story about an overnight phenomenon, but rather it's about how much dedication, hard work, sacrifice and yes, love, it takes to follow the road less traveled.
I had a few minor gripes with the book, but nothing too serious. I would really have liked to have more of the story told by Maureen, and there were a few sections I felt like Tony was glossing over too much, but over all, this book just grabbed me by the throat and wouldn't let go until I finished the last page. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
