Thanks for the info: Graham Keith Rogers <scgkr@mucc.mahidol.ac.th>
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.
