PMP Exam Prep, xth Edition: Rita's Course in a Book for Passing the PMP Exam, by Rita Mulcahy

Rita does a very good job presenting the basics of project management. Thoroughly understanding the essentials has helped enabled me to be very flexible, which is essential as a consultant. As a result, I've been able to practice project management in many different industries, and rapidly adjust to new organizational cultures and difficult project situations with relative ease. I got my PMP nine years ago and used this book to study for it; I still have the book, and sometimes refer to it when practicing in a new industry as a way to 'reset' my perspective.

I agree with Eric - that was the best book that explained the PM concepts and examples in plain language that was easy to understand - and applicable to whatever business in which you are managing projects.

Juran by Design. If you want to learn how to answer the questions on the PMP exam than get the PMP books. If you want to know WHY you are answering the questions the way you are, go back to the sources.
