5The Stand-Up Comedian of Computers  Sep 18, 2006
By C. Dart
My Gosh! What an hilarious book! I could barely stay atop my ergodynamic seat when reading Stahl's Crabby Office Lady. It is too funny and quite insightful as well. Not only are we learning some great shortcuts and know-hows to put under our belt, which are easy to understand and implement, but the humor is infectious. I have so enjoyed telling both my colleagues and friends about it. In fact, some of my friends that are not in the computer world, including my parents, have taken to reading her weekly column. They now email me with her suggestions and, of course, her intelligent humor. I can't recommend it highly enough.

5Humor from Microsoft -- Unbelievable  Sep 30, 2006
By John Matlock "Gunny"
One of the things that Microsoft has done exceedingly well is promote the use of their software at all levels of business. Perhaps the most important realization that started the Crabby Office Lady was the understanding that the public's view of Microsoft was not of a humor oriented friendly company.

In the winter of 2001 when the overall Microsoft web pressence was being changed, Crabby was born. She's now five years old and has a weekly readership of something over 250,000. Now her collected wisdom has been published in this book. It's a hilarious book.

Underneath the humor there's a great deal of useful information about the use of Microsoft Office. Here is not the deatiled instructions, you can get that out of the manual, but here are hints and tips that make the office (your office, not the software) package work and get along better. It's a useful book.

5THE CRABBY OFFICE LADY  Sep 06, 2006
By Philip Stahl "pls"
The CRABBY OFFICE LADY should be near every computer. I like the humor and verbiage used to solve problems in such non scientific language.

5Essential Office Equipment  Sep 01, 2006
By Mari Carlin Dart
Ms. Stahl's style is easy, natural and extremely informative. Her voice as "Crabby" is hilarious. Honestly, this is the first about the work place I've ever laughed my way through AND found indispensable. An absolute MUST for any office bookshelf!

4Priceless Tool!  Aug 31, 2006
By B. Shefrin
After seeing Ms. Crabby's video clips and seeing her speak at a presentation, I had to get the book. It's a priceless office tool! Especially useful to me on a weekly basis is the section on the Top 10 email crabs! Although written with humor, the points are well-taken and we can all learn a thing or two about appropriate email etiquette.
