 Some useful content, marred by an exceptionally sloppy execution, 2008-10-05
I'd like to underscore the comments of others regarding the numerous typos and overall sloppy editing of both the book and CD. It's one thing to have some typos, but it's another thing to have information missing from graphs and completely garbled reading comprehension passages. That some of this information was intended to be there is usually made obvious by the explanations. This will prove frustrating if you're trying to get an accurate gauge of where you stand, especially with the computer based testing. (i.e. If you get wrong answers because information was missing or mistyped, you are still wrong and get different questions than you would have otherwise.)
Given the above disclaimer, I did find the test taking strategies and advice useful. Moreover, the explanations for the answers are helpful when you legitimately got the questions wrong.
Truth be told, the strategy and explanations make this guide useful, but that's only because of the dearth of better products. So, while shoddily executed, the book is a useful, if frustrating, second source.

Kaplan's GMAT 2009 review, 2008-09-30
The book is quite helpful in giving little tips when taking/studying the GMAT exam. It does also provide some insight into what the test is looking for, but it definitely is not the end of all for GMAT prep books.

Kaplan GMAT 2009, 2008-09-11
Re: Kaplan GMAT Premier Program 2009 Edition
It's amazing to me that a company of the stature of Kaplan would have so many errors in a book intended to train for a test. It's hard to have confidence in their services.
Here are some of the numerous errors I found in the math section of this book.
The math section is a pathetic study guide. The errors are so numerous, that it's hard to know when it's right. See below - and this is only as far as I got. I will return this poor "study guide" and request my money back.
I contacted Kaplan; they said they would have an errata sheet posted early Sept 2008; it's now mid-Sept, and no errata sheet is posted.
I'll try another publisher.
Page 272, prob 10, error in first line; fist x-intercept missing (3/2)
Page 279, prob 6; 8x-2 should be 8x-3
Page 289, prob 4; units are meters in the sketch and inches in answers
Page 322, prob 7; missing "+" sign in equation
Page 323, prob 4; indicates use of calculator, but GMAT instructions say no calculators are allowed
Page 326, prob 6; solution includes "y" in solution; there is no "y"
Page 328, prob 10; equation has both plus and minus signs, (x-+5)
Page 285, 30-60-90 example shows 1:1:sqrt2; should be 1:2:sqrt3
Page 299, prob 2; Greek letter for pi is "p" in answer E; confusing
Page 300, prob 3; Greek letter for pi is called "p"; confusing
Page 300, prob 4; Greek letter for pi is called "p"; confusing
Page 301, prob 5; missing info: need to tell me that A in on line OB
Page 305, prob 5; angle CDE and DEC are both 45 deg, but not drawn equal

Very good for strategies, 2008-09-11
I bought this book for GMAT when I was done with Official guide but in retrospect, I think that if you are a new-bie in the world of GMAT and especially looking for crucial strategies to attempt different sections of GMAT, this book will be really helpful.
I found it really cool for strategies regarding RC and CR sections of GMAT verbal.
You can refer to this book and side by side you can solve the questions from Official Guide of GMAC (OG 11).
Besides that, this book has lots of sectional questions which are good (although not exactly like GMAT). Plus it comes with a CD which has 4 full GMAT mocks and sectional tests for all the sections of GMAT Quant and Verbal.
Best of luck!
