The real title is: Working with WORD. (The rest is a sub-title). It's an
attractive Blue background with pink to lavender on the WORD part (which
is about all you'll notice on the bookshelf). Authors are Chris Kinata
and Gordon McComb.

It's a great book to sit down and read, but don't expect to use it as a
well-indexed reference. For example, the advertisements I've seen point
out how you can recover files you thought you had lost. I have yet to
find that information and looked under every possible index term I could
think of.

Regarding the index: they produced the book with Word, so you can't expect
a comprehensive index. Word doesn't do indexes well because it doesn't do
memory well.
