I read it a few years ago and it has a lot of really interesting and potentially useful ideas. When I read it, I was a teacher and was really in need of a better organizational system to help me manage the mass of paperwork. It helped me create a new system to store and manage it all, and it was great. In fact I am starting a new venture and should dig out my copy.

If you do get it, I would recommend the physical book over the kindle/nook version if you are an ebook person. I found myself highlighting and flipping back for reference which is way easier with the real book.

I borrowed it from the library, and then decided to but it because I thought I would want to go back it to. I found it a little overwhelming and haven't used in in years, but I am also needing to organize a lot of things at work, so I am going to re-read when I finish my current book.
