I felt that The Online Business Atlas was very helpful to me mostly because I am new to the internet and it helped direct me to sites that are helpful. I used it in a Internet Strategies Class at DBU and I plan to keep the book for future reference. The book is divided into categories and from there you can find an address and a reveiw of each webpage at that address. m.rojas

As a novice, I especially enjoyed Part 1: Gaining Knowledge through Online Resources. It is practical and easy to follow. The review of the best websites will quickly be outdated but it is helpful to see what the experts are doing.

Most of the sites had new addresses which made this book a hindrance for this newbie. I could have searched using trial and error and not invested so much time looking for one address.

This book is an excellent resource to use, but there are a lot of links that are not completed or are not available.
I spent a lot of time going nowhere.
Some data has changed and the material should be updated.

While using this as a source of WEB information I found it easy to use and informative. As an always updated and current source the authors do not achieve their stated goal. Great for beginning information = Part one. Great for a starting place for sites. Needs to be updated to deal with the ongoing changes on all given sites as well as new sites which were not even available when printed. As it stands its worth half the price. I paid way to much at Barnes and Noble. Should have waited the three days and received it from Amazon! DEG

I use the Business Atlas and a couple of the other Best of the Net books all the time. They save me so much time over waiting for sites to come up and linking to sites that can't help me. These books have detailed reviews of only top-quality sites, so I haven't had a problem with them being outdated or anything. Only problem, I bought these books before I discovered Amazon.com, so I paid too much

Information rich quide for the internet. Needs to be updated from fron to back. This is after all 1998
