Great for Visio end users�

This is overall a good book, but I wanted a text that was a little meatier. If you use Visio to model or create diagrams then this book is excellent. I have picked up quite a few new habits and techniques by reading this book.

Although I liked this book, I actually wanted a book that covered the more advanced topics like creating Visio components, and using the XML that Visio can now generate in version 2002. This book doesn't really cover these advanced developer topics, nor does it claim to (I should have read the descriptions more carefully). If you are looking to extend Visio and create custom solutions with Visio, this book does little more for you than tell you that you can indeed do these things, but that information is outside the scope of the text.

Good book otherwise, I recommend this text for people that simply need to use Visio, rather than develop additional Visio components.
