5.0 out of 5 stars
Just what I needed,
By A Customer
This review is from: Windows XP Home Edition! I Didn't Know You Could Do That... (Paperback)
I already knew the basics of Windows XP. I didn't want to have to suffer through a book that showed all the beginning steps of everything so this book did not disappoint me. Ms. Gookin jumped right in with project after project. Don't buy this book if you need hand holding baby steps. And don't look for long in-depth explanations of Windows. This is a down and dirty, get a project done book.

Surprisingly Helpful,
By A Customer
This review is from: Windows XP Home Edition! I Didn't Know You Could Do That... (Paperback)
I wasn't sure what kind of book this would be since it has a goofy cover, but the information inside is NOT goofy. Ms. Gookin is thorough and very helpful with her presentation of information. This project oriented book contains enough tasks and information so you can easily learn a lot more about Windows XP and accomplish some fun and helpful tasks.
5.0 out of 5 stars
