5.0 out of 5 stars More books like THIS!, April 1, 2002

We need many more books like this. Show it, don't say it! We are visual learners - human see, human do. This book proves that while a picture is worth a thousand words - skip the words! I'll take these pictures any day over some geek stumbling with sentence structure to mess up what is in the help section anyway.

These are brilliantly crafted images that combine the power of a cartoon with the realism of a screen shot. Thumbs way up for this graphic arts talented family (literally) of mostly happy looking daughters. Go Maran family! Show the rest of the publishing world how to explain computers.

I gave this book to some of the senior staff of a client's company who were frustrated (understandably) with their Windows machines. This is a good choice for those new to computers who don't want that "Dummy" series approach.

I have looked at my friend's book and I think that it is great. I'm purchasing one for myself. The book will teach you everything you need to know. The pictures are great detailed.
