4.0 out of 5 stars bulky but easy, October 17, 2007

By	Lee H. Heile (Central PA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I use this this book to teach NEWBIES who recieved Vista on their first computers. It is working very well and several have gone on to work on their own.
Only one set of commands is given, and the print quality is cheap and hard to see in the screen shots(no color). It is vital that users follow each chapter from step one to get the full benefit.
Good for the money and in clear language for seniors and newbies!
Hard to keep open on a desk beside the computer area.

This is my 3rd book on trying to master Vista. I have Vista for Dummies Dummies,another one I just threw away. This is by far the very best book
