    Bookstore with 'Excel for Dummies'

    Any bookstores in HK carry this line of books? I'm only interested in 'excel formulas and functions', which maybe somewhat esoteric.
    Any University bookshop carry such titles?

    If you watch the video, you have to switch from window to window unless you have two monitors. Seems an awkward way to do it. With a book, you can have it open as you look at the screen.

    Easy to have windows side by side if you have a decent monitor or you can have it on your phone with a laptop, many of them you just follow on audio anyway. Just as awkward as having a book to the side and having to look away and refocus. On top of it, you have to pay for the book, it takes space at home and you have to find where to buy it and wait. I find zero convenience in using books and it's a huge waste of paper

    A few english bookshops had them.

    But haven't been to such bookshops for about 1 to 2 years.
