Notes: Graham Rodgers says: "64-page guide to Internet basics. Very easy to |
follow instructions, clearly set out. With the small size not everything |
can be included but the price represents good value. The paper cover |
deteriorates with use." I say: A whole lot of information for the money. |
Well-presented, simple and above all, short. Covers "What is the |
Internet?", terms, UNIX basics, e-mail, Usenet, FTP, rlogin and telnet, |
finger, archie, gopher and veronica. Easy-to-follow examples. They'll sell |
you just one, but the book is primarily intended to be sold to service |
providers and distributed to their users. |

Notes: David M. Stevenson says, "This book is written by someone who is |
concerned that the reader get a good grasp of the Internet system quickly. |
In my case he succeeded; and what he can do for me, he can do for you!" I |
say: This book is a winner. It explains the basics of the Internet in a |
clear and concise style. Covers the tools for reading Usenet news, doing e- |
mail, using FTP, gopher and WorldWideWeb. Doesn't get into the newer, |
funkier tools too much. It's an easy read and doesn't get bogged down in |
esoteric, dull stuff. I even like the cover. |
