Beginner's books

[JANSSENS Koenraad]

It was my pleasure.. because thanks to this thread I now know that its worthwhile to buy the second edition of the workflow bible while already having the first one.
A thread of my name asking exactly this was once deleted from the sap sdn forums as not relevant to the subject it was posted under.  (which I still find incorrectly deleted but you can't compete off course which those whom practically live on those forums.. gather enough points.. etc etc..)

I can go and spend money again... :)
