2.0 out of 5 stars Nick Wells lacking a great deal, February 2, 2000

By	jeff young (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews

Why should I or anyone else spend more than thirty bucks for "Special Edition using KDE" when nearly everything in it can be found online or in help files? Another work, "Practical KDE" (also from Que) is absolutely full of relevant information obviously gained by first-hand experience (which I strongly suspect Wells is lacking) and also costs considerably less. I'm really sorry I wasted my money on Wells. Never again...
