i had it..it was ok 4 a couple of things (like the glossary!)...but if u have a decent teacher and a copy of the syllabus i dont really think its worth buying unless ur really stressin.
The new excel book? I have a copy. i would be happy to sell it to you. It is almost brand new. I believe it is good. But not perfect in terms of the content. it will definitely helps you through the progress of your study.
