www.TechSpectrum.com presents The World's Shortest Excel Book

My name is Richard Kraneis (that's my son Fritz and I on the right) and I've decided to bring my computer training to you.

Tell me, what good is a long computer book if you never read it or just put it on your shelf? Over the past 12 years I've taught about 10,000 people in the Chicago, IL, USA area how to use computers.

How many times have you attended a computer class only to say, "I wish they would skip the basic stuff and just teach me the power techniques."?

The World's Shortest Excel Book is short enough that you will read it. And TWSEB is valuable enough that you will read it more than once.

Here are just some of the powerful secrets, tips & techniques my e-book will teach you

The book is written in simple English with simple explanations. Here's a few paragraphs and snapshots from the book discussing pivot tables. This is the first page of a two page write-up on pivot tables.

As one client from Cleveland, OH, USA said: "You do have a talent for getting the important information across in a concise and easy to follow manner." I must be doing something correct with my simple writing style. Many of my e-book customers are from countries where English is not the national language.

If you purchase my e-book and video there are 5 videos on pivot tables alone. That's 35 minutes of pivot table training. Click here to listen to my introduction to pivot tables. It's 7 minutes long. Click here, it's free.

The World's Shortest Excel Book is still very young. But the review you see below was from Glenda of Kansas, U.S.A. Glenda purchased my e-book in January, 2004. Glenda made my day.

January, 2004, was the first full month of advertising The World's Shortest Excel Book on the Internet. As of 08/26/2005 readers from 40 countries have purchased my e-book.

I am grateful to my readers from all countries for making my e-book a small international success.

Well, of course you will receive my e-book. 12 concepts, 29 pages, and over 50 techniques for learning Excel effectively and quickly. That's why you are here. But when you keep reading, you will find some more surprise bonuses.

It's hard to learn just from a book, or an e-book. That's why my e-book comes with Excel practice files.

Sometimes in life and in spreadsheets, all of us could use a little help. That's why I'm including the Spreadsheet for Living Excel file. Spreadsheets can help you with many tasks from planning your family budget to dieting to picking lottery numbers. Here are some of my favorite spreadsheets, no hard work needed. Just add your own information.

People have started emailing me hellos and Excel questions. Although I can't promise to answer every email I receive, I do read every question from my readers. Sometimes I answer your emails directly. I also send useful educational emails several times a month. Here's one satisfied customer from Florida, USA, after I sent her and hundreds of other readers an educational Excel problem.

I'm so sure that you will learn Excel effectively from The World's Shortest Excel Book that I'm willing to stand behind it with an unconditional guarantee. If you are dissatisfied for any reason with The World's Shortest Excel Book within the first 90 days, just let me know and I'll refund every penny you paid.

Here in Chicago, IL, USA, on many older sidewalks, you will see that a craftsman imprinted his name with a stamp onto the sidewalk he built. They took pride in their work. I feel the same way about my e-book. My name is Richard Kraneis and I gave my best effort in writing The World's Shortest Excel Book. I hope you enjoy it and learn from it.
