5.0 out of 5 stars Beware, February 11, 2004
Beware of buying this book used, without the cd-rom included. You need the cd-rom more than the book itself. Without the cd-rom you will be unable to complete any assignments because the tests and quizzes are in the disc.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great, September 26, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Practical PC (Paperback)
I really like this book. It's overview of the PC really helped me, a beginner at computers, understand many terms better. I enjoyed learning with this book and especially the CD. I really liked how the CD actually showed me how to do everything and explained everything so well.

1.0 out of 5 stars Useful if really needed, November 22, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I had to buy this textbook for a class. If you really want to learn more about computers this book would be useful. If you pretty much already know your way around a computer it's not worth buying.

This book arrived quickly and in great condition. The price was lower than the local book store sold it for. I haven't used it yet, as the class begins in 2 weeks. Read more
