A good short read June 5, 2003
By A Customer
This short book offers an impressive amount of information for its short 20-some pages (not including table of contents, and preview chapter at the end).

The writing style is REALLY concise, almost in point form, and it covers quite a lot of ground for its size. It starts with a look at how Google started and how it works, then covers searching (basic and advanced), some features and services (many that I wasn't aware of - Froogle rocks!), the Google Toolbar, Tips and Tricks, and ends with a short chapter on how to submit your website to Google (if you don't have one this won't be much help).

A good read, and if anything a great primer for more advanced books on the subject.

A good value April 6, 2004
By A Customer
This book takes a vast subject, and breaks it down into short and easily digested sections that I suspect most people will read in one sitting. Although its size does limit it somewhat from expanding on certain points it does come together as a well presented and easy to follow guide. Good for beginners or casual users of Google.
