Customer Reviews

Excellent book, especially for those new to Notes

This book is excellent for someone who has little or no familiarity with Notes 5. It is full of pictures and descriptions, and is easy to follow. It does a good job of explaining things like mail rules, signatures, and how to navigate the new user interface (GUI).I purchased this book as a support tool, primarily for new users. It has worked well in that regard, and even veteran Notes 4 users have enjoyed perusing the book for new features.

It does what it says on the cover

This is a great book, because it meets the objectives very well. It is not a reference book, or a text book for techies, but a quick start guide to basic Lotus Notes R5 use. I was familiar with R4.5, and so could skip through the book very quickly, gleaning useful tips as I went through it all. For new users this is great, and I have pointed many happy user to the book. And, it is in colour, and very well designed, and structured. I have not read many books that meet their objectives so well. Don't buy it for A-Z, but do buy it to use the software in a very short space of time.
