Business Objects: The Complete Reference As a reference guide, the book is extremely valuable. I have seen other books on this subject that are essentially a copy of the help guide. Not to mention that the pricing is 2 to 3 times what a normal book would cost.The examples are good and the index is pretty complete.

Based on the first section alone, Getting Ready for Business Objects, I would recommend this book to anyone just starting out in the Business Intelligence space!

I was thrilled when I heard that a book was being published on Business Objects!

It does a good job of explaining the concepts behind business intelligence as well the the different Business Objects products.I think every person who uses Business Objects would benefit from owning this book! I recommend it through our local user group and to all of my clients!
