Hi Richard!
Here, you might do some preliminary research on what's available at:
http://www.amazon.com
Don't forget to use their search tool. Most texts are available
through them at a discount and it's well worth reading the Author
reviews and the reviews posted by readers. Don't just go for star
rating or even Amazon sales ranking but if it sounds good, rates good
and ranks good (established texts only) it's probably worth having a
good look at it. Amazon are quite cheap and pretty fast; that can be
quite important when the good bookshops are hard to find and / or
carry limited stock and / or (like Australia) if it takes at least 6
months before the new title is floated across the ocean on a raft.
John Walkenbach is regarded as one of the leading writers on Excel and
many swear by (and occasionally at) his "trilogy" Excel 2002 Bible,
Excel 2002 Power Programming with VBA and Excel 2002 Formulas. Don't
worry about your Excel Version number as the earlier Version
differences are clearly signposted. But there are other extremely good
texts that are worth browsing before buying as it is a matter of
taste. For a downloadable recent list of the range of current material
available go to:

classification, titles, prices and ISBNs.
