Take a "Look Inside" if you visit that link, to get a sense of its content.

If you follow that amazon link and look at the "also bought" list you'll
find Writing Word Macros by Steven Roman, which is one I learned a lot from
when I was starting to learn VB and VBA. It's still on my "active" bookshelf
as opposed to my "consult occasionally" bookshelf.

Good luck
