Book Description

Internet Cool Guide October 1999
These days it's harder than ever to fight your way through the cyberjungle. With millions of sites, and more being added every day, even the most intrepid of web travelers can feel overwhelmed. This portable, up-to-date, and savvy guide will point readers to the best the web has to offer: from music to news, shopping, chat rooms, dating services, sports scores, travel and plenty of little-known treasures, such as the Museum of Dirt, the Free Site, and dear Mom.com. Fast-paced, full of color and brimming with useful information, Internet Cool Guide will feature a fully indexed and easily searchable list of the best 1,000 web sites, including:
-- concise reviews and rating symbols
-- information on content, design, speed, and overall coolness
-- a glossary of cyber jargon and emoticons
-- tips on how to join a cyber-community, a netiquette primer, and other funny and fact-filled sidebars

Whether you're trying to book reservations and tickets on-line, searching for an old friend or distant relative, hungry for some virtual coffeehouse conversation, looking to buy, sell, or rent nearly anything -- or just looking for ways to make the internet work for you, Internet Cool Guide will make your web journey faster, easier, and more interesting than you ever thought possible.


Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Rula Razek compiled the Internet Cool Guide for the sort of person who likes to read The New York Times on Sunday. That kind of person--well educated, with a fair bit of discretionary income and diverse interests--will dig this directory's references to some of the best-maintained sites on the Web.

Capsule reviews can only say so much in 100 words or less, but it's likely you'll find a new site that will help you improve your health, make wise money decisions, and engage your interests. Scan the handful of pages about online privacy and search strategies, and then dive into the hundreds of pages of listings.

Internet Cool Guide is printed in full color. It's an unusual design choice that makes this book fun to look at, though you may find its stylish blue-on-white print a bit hard to read. A few errors clutter some Web addresses--a problem endemic to this kind of book--and the reviews rarely have anything critical to say (bad sites were just left out, apparently). It's a fine little book to give as a gift or to keep in the back of your desk drawer for midday Web meanderings. --David Wall

Topics covered: Interesting Web sites, particularly those that have to do with personal issues such as entertainment, fashion, health, investing, shopping, and hobbies.

5.0 out of 5 stars Top-Notch selection, Great layout!, November 19, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Internet Cool Guide: A Savvy Guide to the Hottest Web Sites (Paperback)
I was so pleased with this great looking guide that I will be giving it to all my friends for the holidays. It is also very usuful to beginners with the introductory chapters in the front. The short, but significant remarks for each site come right to the point; wasting no time.

4.0 out of 5 stars Internet Cool Guide is an Insightful, Critical, Great read, November 18, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Internet Cool Guide: A Savvy Guide to the Hottest Web Sites (Paperback)
I spend a lot of time online, and trying to find decent Web pages with a search engine is a shot in the dark. This book is great because it does all the work for you--it's so much easier to look in the index for a good banking site than to use Yahoo!. And it shows stuff on the Web you didn't even know was there to look for in the first place. I'm getting this for everyone for Christmas!

5.0 out of 5 stars Internet Guide actually is pretty cool, November 18, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Internet Cool Guide: A Savvy Guide to the Hottest Web Sites (Paperback)
This beats the pants off of those Yellow Pages-style Web directories that don't quality check their listings. Every one of these sites is really great.
