This is the one - if you want to understand Prince2 or take either the foundation or practitioner exams. However be warned most courses will supply this book so if you are looking to take a course and then the exams you'd be better off with the small handheld guide and/or alternative books as this book will be provided as part of the course (please check with your proposed provider!).
Quite a difficult book to read and assimilate but once the concepts have got in your head it is THE reference book. Often used after the course to support specific areas.
Once you've seen others with the book and taken the exams you'll soon understand why everyone's copies have tabs sticking out all over them!
Good luck with your studies...

I rate this book highly because it enabled me to pass the Prince2 Foundation exam. It is comprehensive and authoritative reference manual which can be refered to in the open-book, 'Practitioner' exam. It is a cost-effective confidence-booster to instructer-led training, as long as one has some exposure to Project Management in the work-place.

Although I have not taken either of the Prince2 exams I have used a range of Prince2 techniques in a number of commercial organisations I have worked in. I have found the reality of project governnance in commercial software development organisations is to adopt a pragmatic approach to using methodologies rather than following a prescriptive approach.
This book is therefore the ideal reference guide for use in either government organisations where it is the accepted standard or for managers like me who pick and choose the elements of Prince2 (and other methodologies) that are most appropriate to them in their environments. If you fall into this latter category the appendices are particualrly useful. Whichever category you fall into, this book is laid out with a logical flow that reflects the lifecycle of projects.

Simple to read
This is standard reading for what is a bit of a dry subject. However the book is essential for the course.

excellent book on PRINCE2
This second version of the book is very much better than the first edition. It's almost readable from cover to cover. It is too expensive though

Prince2 Project Management Material?
THE defacto Project Management book published by Government Press.
A dry reference book - but covers all you need to know in detail.

Wrong product description
Product described as new, but it has been used with several markings on over 40 pages. Product description was deceptive.
