Six Sigma: A Complete Step-by-Step Guide: A Complete Training & Reference Guide for White Belts, Yellow Belts, Green Belts, and Black Belts

Completing online class for Black Belt. When made the purchase for the class it came with a downloaded version but wanted a book to make notes and tag. The offered the same book double the price found here almost half the price.

The media could not be loaded. The binding and page orientation was at it should be in a hard back. No dents, dings, or fading.So far only one page had a text spacing issue but that's negligible.The is a slight bleed through for highlighting (I use Mr. Pen) but not distracting on the next/previous page.The pages are regular type paper you would use in an Inkjet or Laser printer (not Bible thin, not slick). So writing/highlighting in the book is easy and non-smearing.My video may show "sticky" pages but that's only due to the new-ness; there is no page tearing or glue issues upon checking the said "sticky" pages.I appreciate the book quality and look forward to soaking it all in from White Belt to Black Belt certification (HI-yah!)!

Easy to use and a good book to have on hand.

This book does an excellent job of condensing a lot of important material into an easy-to-read fashion. It also has many useful examples and exercises that increase the reader's ability to learn the material.However, the EDITOR for this book should be fired. There are consistently grammar, formatting and spelling mistakes throughout the entire book. These mistakes unnecessarily distract the reader from the quality of information within the text. More egregious are the mistakes in describing how certain Excel functions work or mistakes in examples that are provided. These mistakes cause the reader to be confused and have to do outside research.Overall, I would recommend buying this book due to the quality of content (which is also why I gave 4 stars and not lower), but the author of this book should at least take the time to re-read the work because currently these editing mistakes are just embarrassing.

I purchased this book to take one of the open-book certification exams with the Council of Six Sigma Certification (CSSC). The book made it a breeze!For anybody looking to save money, instead of getting this specific book they can just get one of these free self-study guides directly from their website. They have a different training guide broken-down for each belt level (Black Belt, Green Belt, Yellow Belt, White Belt, etc.) They are shorter ebooks, but still appear to have everything you would need to pass the open-book exams.Since I would rather have the full edition on my Kindle, spending a couple dollars more was easily worth it. That said, I did notice that the kindle version had a couple minor font issues (I don't think the Kindle can reproduce the sigma symbol). However, this really isn't a big deal considering that the Kindle version is practically free.I will probably also buy the paperback version since I prefer the feel of a physical text book (easier to flip from section to section). This is a very thorough book, highly recommended.

After deciding to try to self study Six Sigma and finding the ebook hard to make notes or highlights for my reference, I got the paper version. It's been great. Easy to read and understand though the index could use some work and I would have liked more information other than chapter titles in the table of contents. Editing could use some touchups for next edition, but overall worth what I spent.

If you’re looking to get your black belt, this is a great book to have. I highlighted everything I needed to know in it and I’ve already got my white belt.

This book is five years old and needs a rewrite. Terms are introduced in the text without explanation. Some grammatical issues. Would expect more from a Six Sigma product. That being said this is a very complete reference for anyone heading down the Six Sigma path.
