Customers say

Customers find the PMBOK Guide to be a vital resource for preparing for the PMP exam and a good reference for experienced project managers. Moreover, the book offers excellent value for money. However, the readability and paper color receive mixed feedback - while some find it super duper readable and appreciate the light grey with black text, others find it very hard to read and consider the gray shaded pages horrible.

Impressed!!!
DO NOT LISTEN TO THE NEGATIVE REVIEWS!! I was concerned for NOTHING! These books are in a notebook type form, the pages open and stay open easily and the font/color is fine. People are being overly picky. I’m an avid reader, not on a kindle, real books. I really appreciate good paper and a nice cover. This isn’t perfect by any means, but it’s got a nice cover and the information is clear and legible. I finally feel like I can study without having to stare at a screen. I’m old school so I appreciate tangible books, not ebooks. Definitely worth the investment if you’re like me! Good luck!!

    5.0 out of 5 stars No issues with paper used in PMBOK 6th Edition
    Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2019
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    I purchased this guide here on Amazon. I've seen several reviews regarding paper used for this guide. The paper is not thin as indicated in at least one review. Also I did not find the gray paper difficult to read. At least one person mentioned a watermark as interfering with readability. I do not see any watermark when reading the book. The only way you would possibly see a watermark is if you tried to copy a page out of the book. Also, just an FYI.... This is the same color/paper that was used in the 5th edition of the PMBOK which I also have and again I had no issues with readability, etc.

    All in all this product is what I expected. Getting the Agile Practice Guide was an added bonus!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Standard Book, Not Difficult To Read
    Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2018
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    The PMBOK 6th edition is pretty standard. It is the same quality of printing you would get with any soft cover text book. Unlike the rest of the reviews I had no issues with the black type on grey paper. As someone who regularly suffers from migraines, I found it much easier to read then to look at pages with the glaring contrast between white paper and black ink. If you are truly that worried about reading on slightly muted paper, download the free version from the PMI website. You do get the two standard books for the 2018 exam with this order. Overall exactly what I needed to aid me in studying for the exam.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Annoying page color is distracting
    Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2019
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    The background of every page of this book is very gray resulting in poor contrast to the text. It is difficult, almost impossible, to read in some lighting conditions. The bottom of the first page states that the background color contains an "anti-counterfeiting" technology. It also states the paper is gray but it's not, it simply has very tiny black dots printed on the pages. I know that criminals could easily by-pass this "watermark" trick and create a copy. A determined crook could simply use a word processor and duplicate the entire book. This is an annoying and unnecessary tactic that also has to increase the manufacturing cost and raise the price to consumers. If you buy this book, be sure to read it under bright LED lighting.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Ignore all the bad reviews about the gray print and watermarks. It’s not bad at all!
    Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2018
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    I wasn’t going to buy this book because of all the bad reviews about the gray paper and watermark making the book a total headache to read. I couldn’t find a medium to get the images on clearly, so I decided to buy the book anyways, just for the pictures. I was shocked to read all the bad reviews, and open the book up, to very easy reading! I have nothing bad to say. I guess, if you don’t have terrible eyes and decent lighting, you shouldn’t have any trouble reading the book. I’m more worried about falling asleep, with all the peaks and climaxes in this epic book! :)

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great Value, Printed on Easy to Read Paper
    Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2020
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    Both books arrived packaged in a sleeve but once I removed the sleeve there are 2 separate books. PMBOK is on light grey paper but definitely not a problem to read!!!

    I ordered this since I study better with a physical book then the electronic copy the PMI offers with your membership.

    These 2 books are at an affordable price.
    The Agile book was a bonus for me as I was just interested in the PMBOK.

    If you want a physical copy of the book(s) buy this bundle.

    The books arrived in perfect condition! Both the PMBOK guide and the Agile practice guide. For project management you can't get better than this. Note I am a PMI member, but still cheaper to buy here if you live outside the U.S. A lot of people are saying that reading is difficult. Even with slightly darker grey it's as easy to read as previous versions. Text is printed on grey "anti-photocopy" pages, but I have no problem reading even with poor window light in my office (see pic attached). I'm very happy with the purchase.

    Reviewed in Germany on January 17, 2019
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    I've read several comments complaining on strong watermark that makes the book hard to read. I clearly have to deny that claim. It is perfectly clean and sharp, easy to read, good quality printing.

    Also the content is very structured and gives a good overview and also details regarding project planning, operation and basically everything you need to know.

    Strongly recommended, especially for those who are new in this field of work.

    5.0 out of 5 stars From the 3rd edition to the 6th the PMBOK is Twice as Big with more clarity
    Reviewed in Canada on March 14, 2018
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    I remember the days struggling with the 3rd edition and mercifully the 4th was more understandable when I obtained my PMP. This "bundle" is most elaborative and understandable PMBOK inclusive of agile, its become twice as thick. I have all off them since the 3rd. The addition of software extensions to the 5th and Agile written more generically to the 6th are welcome additions. If your looking for "fashionable" SCRUM its not going to give you details here, only a consideration as an agile frame work. Personally I prefer middle off the road iterative-incremental agile process similar to Disciplined Agile Delivery by a Scott Ambler - a light weight modernized AUP from IBM that has a better degree of management controls built in including an inception vision and some modeling, I don't want be embarking into the forest without a simple map (GPS). SCRUM swings way too far with self governing-organizing and trust of teams - sound like a holistic theology (Buddhism) and has not worked as well as I expected. Most likely because of individual personality, thought processes and No inception. No body wants to be micromanaged, but at the same time we do have law, Not anarchy. Even sports teams have rules and a play book.

    Dwight D. Eisenhower: "Planning is indispensable, but useless in battle" its all about the mind set. give it thought.

    This is bundle is at good price point. The weakness is thin paper and the print is copy proof with watermarks on it, but is Not an obstruction to readability, may be over long periods. If you are looking for the electronic version it is available when purchased individually. THIS IS A BODY OF KNOWLEDGE! Generically written suite any project, Not every point is going to be used in "your" project- Don't expect a Text book nor training Manuel out of it.
