O’Reilly continues its serie “97 things” with this “97 Things Every Project Manager Should Know“.
I’d like to define this kind of books as post-modern book: their contents are released under Creative Commons, every piece last just two pages and they are written by a large group of authors; they are a sort of blog on paper.

I started to read with great expectatives: most of authors are well known in Project Management world, and the format is very attractive.
Neverthless I found it too high level and, in some part, too superficial for my taste: I cought myself thinking “… and so?” too often.

In conclusion, I suggest this books only for novice project managers, otherwise a book as “Manage It!” by Johanna Rothman is more suitable.
