Excellent, well-written, relevant resource.

Bystidwell@visi.neton August 5, 1999

Format: Paperback

Rod,
Just wanted to drop you a note re: your book. I received my copy from Amazon.com a couple of days ago and I am quite impressed. I figured it would be another useful, but dull reference book that I'd refer to in a jam and leave on the shelf otherwise.
Boy, was I pleasantly surprised. I am actually reading it! Your writing style is informative and "entertaining" and actually makes for good reading. I've already picked up quite a few tips that it would have taken me forever to find in the manual, if I could find them at all. I especially like the fact that it really is tailored for Linux - not a rehash of WP8 for Windows in Linux clothing. Your seamless incorporation of the vagaries and nuances of Linux in the text is perfect, and for a Linux newbie, I'm sure invaluable. (Like you, I've been using Linux for about 2 years, so I definitely don't consider myself a newbie).

Fantastic book!

ByBob Boykenon November 25, 1999

Format: Paperback

This book is not simply a rehashing of the WordPerfect User's Guide. It is well-organized and clearly written. Many authors are content to simply explain the features of a program. In this book, Rod Smith shifts the focus to one of using WordPerfect for Linux to get things done.
Mr. Smith also provides clues and work-arounds for dealing with many of the quirks (bugs?) that are present in WordPerfect for Linux. I purchased the book because I was having trouble getting a document to print properly. Thanks to Appendix B (and a couple of clarifying emails from the author), my problem is now solved.
You won't regret buying this book!
