The Best General Guide Yet

In the course of reviewing many general Internet texts for client distribution at our firm, I had the pleasure to come across this work. It is truely a level above everything else out there. Clear, concise and complete. This is a must have reference work for every Internet surfer.

Best Reference Book on Internet!

While taking a course on "Basic Internet" I was forced to buy another book that was really confusing. I found "The Internet - the Rough Guide 2000" at our bookstore and it has saved my life. The explanations and suggestions are much clearer than our text book and actually gave more information in a smaller size - really handy to keep by the computer or carry with you. I would definitely recommend this to anyone learning to surf the net, build a web page, research, etc.

Awesome!

This book is teriffic. Unlike most Internet books out there, author Angus Kennedy doesn't try to overwhelm you or sound like a techie know-it-all. He explains everything in a easy, complete, and detailed manner, making the internet as easy to use as possible. He also has a good sense of humor, keeping the book fun and interesting throughout. Hats off to Mr. Kennedy! I dare you to find a better Internet book.

You won't need to buy any other book!

If your new to the internet or an expert, this book is a must-have! You will learn everything you need to know from this tiny GEM...I kid you not. It's worth it's weight in Gold, so take a tip from one who has plundered every bookstore on the planet searching for the Holy Grail of Internet Tuition in book-form. Look no further, it's here! Angus Kennedy is is nothing short of a genius, a real Net-Guru...'you could not wish for a better teacher, and this book is his best ever effort, in my opinion. It's dirt cheap too, so buy it! You can't do better than this! (George Blades).

Get a load off your shelf. Buy this book!!!

I bought this book originally, because it had a condensed version of writing a web page in 11 short pages!!!Yes, I couldn't believe it either-but the best thing was- I also got the most useful internet book I will ever own, and it doesn't weigh as much as a telephone book! It just fits into my pocket(what bliss).If its out there, it's in here! Thanks Angus.
