This review is from: The Big Basics Book of the Internet (Paperback)

I would like to give this book 3.5 stars but as you know there is no half-star in the universe :-) I think 4 is okay. This book has too many illustrations, perhaps far beyond necessity. This is not a basic book of internet.Rather a title like "The big elimentary book of popular internet software and working with modem" would better describe the content. Still for new users it will work fine. I would strongly recommend this for your first step towards internet. But if you are little more advanced with all functions internet offers, dont waste your time in an illustrative child care home:-)
