This review is from: The Windows 95 Scanning Book (Paperback)

This book is great! I bought a scanner and didn't really know anything about scanning. There were many other books on the subject, but it was only this one that I felt was for beginners. It is very well written. The chapters are well organized and things are explained clearly.-Chantal G.
