Like IDG's offerings, below, Prima's books provide similar information in a number of formats. Fast & Easy is the most visually intense book, and it should work well for those who have even a small amount of experience with previous Windows systems. It is logically organized but allows the user to reference sections of interest. In a Weekend functions as a chronological tutorial. Well illustrated and with a good, basic text, it walks readers through "Getting To Know Windows 98," "Installing Applications," "Adding Hardware," and four more chapters that build on one another. Despite the title, Essential Windows 98, offering deeper instruction but in a similar format to In a Weekend, seems the best title to skip.
