Good basic introductory book

Computers Are Your Future, Complete (9th Edition) 9th edition is slightly outdated-- If you are buying, I would get 10th edition.

great!

It was in good condition and all my questions were answered in at least 24 hours.

The basics in one book...

It has the elementary stuff about new topics. With plenty of images and examples, I really like it. The only problem is the kind of paper, it`s to thin, which makes the book small but very heavy. Quite difficult to read if you are holding it.

My current best choice for a text in introduction to microcomputers

Several years ago, I regularly taught a course in introduction to microcomputers at the college level. In general, I had two categories of students, those with experience who were taking it as a bunny and those who struggled when using computers. I don't know if I will ever teach such a course again, but if I did, this is the book that I would most likely use as the text. The coverage is excellent and there is greater depth than you find in most other books that cover this material. The summaries at the end of the chapters provide for immediate feedback, there are a large number of colored diagrams that illustrate the concepts and support the text, which is very readable. Even the students who are uncomfortable with computers will be able to read it and gain understanding. At this point, this is the best text that I know of for teaching introduction to microcomputers and I strongly recommend it.
