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.

This short but very well written book is a must for anybody wanting to learn more about the google way.It provides all pertinent information,in a very well organized way that the reader can follow.

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.

I saw this book while searching for search engine optimization books, and this one came up as one of the recommended books. Yes, I may have not been the right audience, but this would apply to everyone.

The title should be changed to "Fit for the garbage can in 30 seconds or less." My god, if you have ever done 10 or more searches on Google (which almost everyone has), you'll find this book absolutely useless. You can get more information by simply visiting this page http://www.google.com/about.html

I have nothing against the author or publisher, but thought I'd do this system justice by giving my honest opinion.

Google Online Help section regurgitated. A very simple book, not even useful for the inexperienced. Google Help (http://www.google.com/help/index.html) is better.

Google, comes from the word googol, the name for a large number which can be represented as a 1 followed by 100 zeros. ~page 1

Timesaver Books are perfect for anyone who has issues with reading manual-size books with too much information. The truth is, less is often more and these books prove it. The books are written by top-notch authors and are updated on a regular basis.

This book covers:

The History of Google
How to Search for Information
Variations of Keywords
Phrases
Category Matches
Setting Search Preferences
Image Search
Toolbar at a Glance

They give excellent advice on how to submit your website to Google and then a "spider" can crawl all over your site and people can search for your information through Google.

These books are like a road map that gets you to the main streets. Then, you can follow the information at the recommended websites for more detailed information. The tidbits of interesting info throughout the books also make them very enjoyable to read.
