Customer Reviews

useful and well organized book

After having spent some time on Second Life (SL) I found that I needed somebody to explain to me "how" SL really works. I wasn't interested in a "how-to" guide, SL web site already covers that. I was looking for information on what's the best way to customize my avatar, and yes I'm getting new hair and new clothes this week (thanks to this book)! I liked the suggestion of paying attention to what's written on my (and others) profile as the first place to go when meeting new people. The most interesting information I found was around social etiquette, what it means to be "friend" with somebody and when you want to do that. Lots of details that it would have taken me way too much time to find on my own. Overall it's an easy book to read (a couple days) and well organized. I enjoyed some of the images, I actually ended up going back to SL and looking for some of those places.
