2.0 out of 5 stars Print Quality is Very Poor, April 9, 2013
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Statistics for Six Sigma Green Belts with Minitab and JMP (paperback) (Paperback)
The subject matter is very good; however, the paper and print quality is terrible: streaks, white spots, out of focus type -- difficult to read.

3.0 out of 5 stars Why Minitab and JMP in one book?, October 6, 2008
By 
Frank Axelsson "Fan" (Knivsta, Uppsala Sweden) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The idea of writing a book about how to use statistical software for six sigma green belts is good, but it should be more focused. If you are not an owner of both Minitab and JMP, 50% of this book is Muda (waste)!
