Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
This is the sixth edition of the popular yellow-pages-style directory for the Internet. The directory describes and links to over 10,000 sites on the Net, featuring helpful material before the listings. After the frequently-asked-questions-style (FAQ) introduction, New Riders' Official World Wide Web Yellow Pages offers information about the Internet. Sections detail how to get connected, what browser software is available, how search engines operate, and how to set up e-mail. The directory portion of the book, organized by subject matter, includes topics such as education, finance and investment, computer technology, contemporary books and authors, and science and engineering. More esoteric subjects include paranormal phenomena and the rich and famous. An excellent section on worldwide FTP sites explains the type of files stored on those sites. The first-rate index lists each of the sites mentioned in the directory in alphabetical order. The accompanying CD-ROM contains a searchable version of the book to make it easy to get to Web sites.

For many people, the on-line search often end-up with frustration. The abundance of information posting everyday on the Internet, sometimes makes us difficult to find the exact information we want. So, bid farewell to the futile and frustrating web excursions. Whether you're looking for vital information or just want to know a place to hang out and kill a little time, this book helps you get where you want to go. It will be a wonderful value to many readers. I strongly recommend it.
