Summary: This book is a good introduction to DB Master for someone interested in what a database program can do and how to set up a database. The book works through an example for both the Apple and IBM PC. I recommend the book for someone who has not yet purchased a database program. The DB Master manual is adequate for owners, especially given its $17.95 price. Unfortunately, the book has a limited index. (Reviewed by Wolfgang Frese, Mississippi State University)
