Makes searching with Google so much more accurate

Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2015

Lots of Google tips that even I never knew were available and I've used computers since the early 80's long before Google existed. This book is totally worth the price. I have several 'Missing Manual' Books that I bought back when tech hardware and software came with giant 5 pound printed manuals. Even then, the Missing Manual series books were super helpful. They are even more necessary now that manuals are the size of a credit card. Google is constantly updating and adding new features. This book will keep you from having to wander everywhere online looking for help with all of Googles hidden features. I will help you search smarter, not having 4 million pages listed for your searches instead of 100 will cut your search time to a minimum. This book will help you do that. The index is very helpful so you can go directly to the section you need. The book describes tons of shortcuts but use the index, don't try to read it straight through, you won't remember it all.

Google Apps: The Missing Manual be ready to hunker down and study...for a greenhorn, such as me,
this book is work to understand...I was hoping for something easier to understand...but there is a lot of information to cover,
440 pages, excluding the index...what I have read so far is loaded with on- line jargon I am still learning...fortunately the
illustrations seem to be on the same page as the information you are attempting to understand...

Like every other Missing Manual I've read

I have maybe 6 or 7 of the Missing Manuals and each and every one of them is extremely well written. These really are the books that should've come with the product. And learning all about Google is no different.

OK Book

Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2008

Verified Purchase

I ordered this book because I needed to add a few bucks to my order to get free shipping. I would say if a person is new to the Internet or new to Google this is a good book. But for those like me that have been using both for years, this book does not tell you much you would not already know. If I had it to do over I would not buy this book.

Review of "Google: The Missing Manual"

Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2005

Verified Purchase

Very useful techniques for enhancing the research power of Google. Book is well organized. Index could be more comprehensive and detailed. Examples are very helpful. More examples illustrating the techniques would be disirable.
