 Don't buy the Kindle Edition Oct 26, 2009
This must be a defect in the product itself. I can't imagine how quality control missed this. This is a book that is teaching about a graphical notation. Yet, the Kindle edition has no graphics? This has to be a defect. Hopefully, Amazon help will provide a refund.

Do *NOT* buy the Kindle edition Oct 12, 2009
Do not buy the Kindle version of this book. I did this today, because I liked the sample, but the full book is missing all figures. Since explaining a graphical notation without graphics is worthless, I do not recommend this edition. I would have given zero stars if this was possible.
The book itself (from what I can see in the first 4 chapters is well written and understandable. If you need a BPMN 1.1 book, order the paperback version.
I will return the Kindle version in favor of the printed book.
 Excellent Jun 09, 2009
Excellent ouvrage. Rarement lu un guide de référence aussi bien charpenté. Complet, facile à lire, exemples bien choisis, illustrations adéquates. J'ai obtenu toutes les réponses aux questions que je me posais.
A recommander.

The authoritative guide to BPMN Mar 03, 2009
I, and Computas in Norway, have been involved with BPMN since the early days in 2003 / 2004 leading to the release of BPMN 1.0 from BPMI. For years, there was no book about BPMN, except for the specification itself. Over the last year, BPMN books have started to appear - and among them is the authoritative guide to BPMN; "BPMN Modeling and Reference Guide" by Stephen A. White - who has been the editor of the standard over the years - and Derek Miers - one of the few European BPM Gurus.
The most amazing thing about this book is its (lack of) thickness - the authors have accomplished to write this authoritative guide in only 221 pages. The introductory part - "Understanding BPMN" is only 46 easily read pages; with lots of nice examples covering BPMN 1.1 modeling style using signal events etc.
If you are interested in a condensed BPMN overview for both business and IT people - this is the book for you.
If you are looking for the best BPMN book around - this is also the book for you.
If you are interested in reading several hundreds of pages about BPMN - I would start with this book, next complement it with the specification itself; available from OMG's website.

A much needed reference for our industry! Feb 20, 2009
Well, kudos to you guys, because you have created a much needed reference for our industry!
Your book is well written, easy to read and present the BPMN concepts in an easy to understand way
that is accessible to the laymen while allowing experts to better understand some on the sometime
not so clear intentions that are in the spec.
I believe your chapter 5 will become the reference for introducing BPMN to the masses.
Again thanks for producing what I perceive to be a great book! Kudos!
