Of the 325 pages of text, this book had only 54 pages relating specifically to Netscape's browser. I know readers need to be aware of the generalities of Internet surfing, but given the title of this book, I thought there would be more on the specifics of using this particular browser. I generally like the "for Dummies" series, but this was a disappointment.

This book had very little about Netscape Communicator. The three chapters that are devoted to Netscape Communicator tell you what it can do. It does not show you with examples. The majority of the book is about surfing the net, a little of HTML code, and examples of web sites. You can learn more accidentally by experimentation and on line help. My recommendation is save your money do not purchase this book.

I borrowed this book from the library hoping to gain some insight into Netscape Communicator. Little did I know I had inadvertently borrowed Internet for Dummies. A scant 3 chapters are devoted to Communicator and the rest of the book is internet reference material for various sites and a brief history of the internet.
