I purchased this thru Readers Digest and expected instruction on how to perform the various functions..This the book did not do..It provided only info on what is contained on the Internet but not how to use it..

This is an extremely helpful book for anyone that is just starting working on the computer and internet as well as an experienced person.

I have found the book helpful in teaching the internet to others. Many times we forget to inform the new learner of the information that is so basic to us.

This book takes them through a complete process. They build thought upon thought. For people who are visual learners, the pictures on the pages are very refreshing to see that one is actually getting the right results from following the written instructions.

I have been working with the internet for years and still refer people back to the Visual Series as the best value for their money.

This book is an excellent overview for the end user. This book explains the general concepts of Internet and World Wide Web and yet the area they cover was very broad but not in depth. If you are confused with all general concepts but do not have interest to go very deep into the topics, this is definitely the book for you. Good visual presentation always great for understanding the subject. I have been using this book when explaining the Internet to non-I.T people, they love it.

This book was great because I am new to the 'internet world'. The visual format of the book allowed easy interpretation of all of the information. I highly recommend all of these books - I have purchased 5 more of these books from IDG and marangraphics and am now becoming more comfortable with computers and the internet. I highly recommend their books on microsoft applications, such as access, excel, and html. The great thing is that their is no flipping back between pages - all of the info is right there before your eyes!

I can't very well review an item I never got. You sent me a message saying this item was no longer available and I would not be charged for IT. Nor do I want it anymore. I got something else from a different source. Please check your records to be sure I wasn't charged for this item.

With the fast pace of the internet, this book, published in 1997, is woefully outdated. I accidentally purchased it thinking I was getting the October 1999 version of the series.
