Not comprehensive
While good at the basics it fails to get into the deeper mysteries of Access - and users will know there are plenty of those. Aimed at the first-time user. For those who need a bit more, you might try Access 2013 For Dummies, or look online.

Enjoyable 1st Step to Learning MS Access
Well written and enjoyable read. Ulrich & Cook cover the basics without going down too many rabbit holes (Spoiler Alert: Access has about a million potential rabbit holes! SQL, VBA, etc.). I have but two minor quibbles, and I understand that writing and publishing a book like this isn’t as easy as the internet would have us readers believe: 1. The link for the example database file on electronic page 157 is dead and did not work. Attempted to contact Wiley and received zero useful info. Ended up going to the Access 2019 Dummies book by the same authors to find a sample file that was mostly accurate. 2. At one point in the book, the authors set up a query that did not include a “status” field, yet the image in the book a couple of pages later show the query results sorted by “status”. Thanks again for producing an enjoyable and useful book about MS Access.

Easy to see understand and follow.
Geared more towards novice users, although it is easy to understand. Was missing a few things for my needs but a good reference book if you do not have complicated situations to resolve.

A bit disappointed.
The quality of the pictures in the book are so low it's hardly readable.

Good tutorial but worthless illustrations.
First the book is well written and easy to understand, but if you want to use the images to clarify a point, about 90% are of no use. The publishing is second rate. The images are close to worthless. They look like they were left out in the sun for a week and are so faded you can't make them out. You have at least 1" white space around all the pages that could be used for easier viewing of the images. The publisher needs to spend a little bit more on ink so the book can reach its full potential.
