Summary: A 1/4 mile wide an an inch deep.
Comment: "Special Edition Using Microsoft Office Access 2007" by Roger Jennings is an adequate Refrence Manual for getting up to speed with the many new features of the product.
However, as someone who is an experienced Access developer, I was somewhat disappointed with the depth of knowledge. It had very little VBA reference and few code examples. I would have liked to see a little more insight into collection objects and how to use the attributes and methods.
The index was too sparse. Several things that I looked up in the index were not there only to find information later when reading more in depth.
I'd say this book caters more to your super user than a developer. It would be good for getting up to speed quickly but lacks the proper depth to make solid applications.

Summary: Summary Review of Access 2007 Books
Comment: This is the summary review of four Access 2007 books:
"Special Edition: Using Access 2007" (Special)
"Access 2007 Bible" (Bible)
"The missing Manual of Access 2007" (Manual)
"Access 2007 for dummies" (Dummies)
In sum, the special edition is the best. Buy the special edition. Even you are a fresh beginner on Access.
(My story? Well, I read the dummies first. Then looked at Manual, doesn't like it. So I got the bible. Still unsatisfied. Finally, I got the special edition.)I know some basics on Access 2003 and only use Access when Excel is not enough to handle my data. I started with "Access 2007 for dummies" and finished it in a couple of hours. Then I turned to "Access 2007 Bible" and "The missing Manual", the manual is the worst one and the bible just provides basics, well, maybe a bit more than, that the dummies book already covers.
The special edition provides more examples and detailed explanation on: Query, Forms, Reports, Pivot table.Not sure about the VBA part.
I also like very much the reader-friendly layout and enjoy its "what is in real world" sections at the end of several chapters.
This book also provides a good summary of basic database concepts like normalized, the importance of index, joints. The summary is very helpful especially you are a beginner.
The cover of the special edition claims that the special edition is the only Access book you need. Well, maybe not the only one, but if you have the special edition, you definitely don't need the Access 2007 Bible, The missing manual and the dummies book.
