Very easy to read, well organized. I'm a techie, but the book is still readable enough that a person who has just been introduced to a computer can begin to understand its history and how it works. It also explains in detail how society uses and advances technology every day. Very good read!

So the only reason why I didn't give the book 5 stars is because of the material in the book. The book itself is in great condition, came quickly and was a great price. Though, if you are a student trying to get a cheaper price and buy the older edition you MUST keep in mind that some of the information is a little outdated. Though it still works perfectly and alongside the lectures in class I don't have any issues with the book. It was the perfect decision for me and I would recommend it to other students, as long as you already have a basic background in computers.

This book is very well written and simple to read. I know quite a bit about computers and how fast things change with them. I also have many friends and family who have a wide range in knowledge when it comes to computers. I find it very amazing how much information is packed into this book and how simple it allows a person to "learn" while reading. You can choose particular topics to learn more about, or just read the entire book for an all around greater understanding of computers and electronics.

This is an excellent buy and since it's required for my online computer class it's even better. VERY detailed yet easy to read.

I have used this book when I was student, the first time I saw this book, I was very excited to get easy explanations with the help of vivid colorful illustrations and photos, this book seems like a computer magazine. good color printing on nice semi glossy paper.

The good thing about this book is it's very conceptual book, easy to understand text for a new reader, and its practical theories involves reader throughout.

Done in a format similar to a computer magazine, the topics are covered in a succinct manner, mostly devoid of $20 words that only stroke the author's ego.

An enjoyable read (really!). New 7th edition now available. Probably equally as good. Be sure you order the correct one for your class!

The book came in fine, but without the softwear. The problem is that the publishing date was not clear when I bought it and the information is really out of date.

The seller provided me with good service in the purchase of my book needed for computer class as directed by the instructor. I received the book within the time designated by Amazon as an estimated time of shipment and arrival. I would buy from this seller again. Thanks!

The book was in great condition with little to no markings, as promised. It was shipped out upon order and I receieved it in less than a week.

We ordered the book for my son's freshman computer science class - I was concerned about making sure we had the right edition, etc, and not a single problem - fast turnaround - very pleased.
