I've first checked this book out from the Chicago Public Library three times and once kept it two months after the book check out expired. The I purchased the book myself. I can not offer enough praise for this well researched and written book on the Internet. This is definitely the "Book" for pros and "dummies" alike.

I have been working in technology for eighteen years with the U.S. Navy and using the Internet for nine years now and admittedly I only possessed about less 10% of the available resources that was presented in this book. Just visiting and bookmarking all those interesting link to various useful Web sites was good enough for me (100+ useful bookmarks from this book alone).

My college textbooks and other "big computer books" weren't as valuable as this one. With this new gained knowledge, I've referred this book to my instructor for the "Basic Internet Class" that I took at the one of the City Colleges of Chicago (Truman College) and my fellow classmates agreed that this book "The Internet GigaBook For Dummies" and "The Everyday Internet All-in-One Desk Reference For Dummies", also by Peter Weverka, was more informative than our classroom resources and textbook. Buy this book if you want to REALLY learn something about this subject.

One final thought, read Mr. Peter Weverka's "The Everyday Internet All-in-One Desk Reference For Dummies". You won't be disappointed in my recommendation on this wonderful read. Peace out and take care.

This is another of the "Dummies Megabooks". I've yet to be disappointed with any of these big books. Although some of the content is dated now, the price makes this a really good buy. As long as you know what parts are outdated, you'll be ok. I'd couple this book with a more recent book. Remember, the internet is constantly changing. It's well worth a couple of dollars.
