An Access developer might learn some or even all of these techniques via some other means, but I guarantee he/she will not learn and put them to practical use as quickly or efficiently as by using this book.

The Access Cookbook is not an option for novice to intermediate Access Developers - it's a must. Even expert Access developers should benefit - although the book is so popular that the techniques therein are essentially common knowledge to the Access community. Nevertheless, it should be (and probably already is) a part of any serious Access application developer's library.
