...For the APM Exam. I'd had no previous knowledge of Project Management and no tuition and I read this from cover to cover and passed my exam without any issues. It is a great beginner book for those who are looking at moving into this sector, but it is probably a useful book to read given any occuptaion. Worth the money.

As a newcomer to project management, I purchased this book as an entry point to supplement the ILX APM Introductory Certificate e-Learning course. The AMP IC was recommended as a sensible precursor to the PRINCE2 foundation and this book recommended as both a study guide as well as a stand-alone text.
The Starting Out in Project Management book is an easy to read text and avoids the 'jargon overload' that you may expect from such a subject. Plenty of illustrations are included which help to lighten things up and a Red Nose Day fund raiser project is referred to as an example throughout the book, which helps illustrate the various aspects being discussed.
After each chapter, there is a pause for reflection on project(s) you know well, however some people may find this part difficult, especially if like myself, they work in environments which appear to be devoid of any formal project management procedures!
For newcomers working in such environments, what I think this book perhaps lacks is an appendix which shows an example paper trail of the Red Nose Day project from start to finish. This, in my opinion, would be useful as a reference as how all the fragments discussed in detail in each chapter, might be combined together into a more formal document, and could be used as an initial template for those real-world projects.
