Summary: One of the most poorly written books EVER
Comment: Hands down, this is THE worst-written book of any kind, ever. My brain totally objects to reading sentences such as, "The project manager will have to be careful that the project manager does not make mistakes that will make it difficult for the project manager to manage the project." Think I'm kidding -- hey, no one could make this stuff up. After reading three or four sentences in a row like this, I was ready to fall off my chair, or else go beat my head against the wall. And who came up with the title: "Book of Knowledge". Sounds almost religious, or else like something they'd come up with in a Star Trek movie. Sheesh. Get it because you have to, but get thee -- quick -- to additional guides to help yourself pass the PMP exam.

Summary: Amazon is the best site (Can't say the same about the carrier USPS)
Comment: 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.

Summary: Unreadable gibberish, and a waste of money
Comment: 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!

Summary: Difficult and incomprehensible
Comment: 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.

Summary: Not as expected
Comment: 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.
