Notes: Fisher shows admirable restraint in limiting the scope of this book.
Where others try to produce "complete" documentation for the "whole"
Internet, Fisher flatly states (correctly) that this is impossible. Where
others try to take you "from the modem up," Fisher suggests you get some
basic experience with local bulletin boards. The intent is to give desktop
(PC and Mac) users some basic grounding in Internet functions and tools. As
such, the book is much less imposing than most of the others of this ilk.
(Cheaper, too.) For the majority of new users, however, this is a good,
basic introduction. What shortcomings there are in specific information can
be quickly filled in once a user has gotten onto the net. The very personal
style here probably more than makes up for any other lacks--the Internet is
primarily other people, not technologies.

Notes: This is the only Internet book that I know of that is specifically
for VAX/VMS users (you poor things.) The manual is somewhat specific for
our VAX 4000, but it can be used by anyone who is netting with VMS. It's
also available online for free, FTPable from:

Notes: While not strictly an Internet book, this tome focuses on one thing:
the UNIX program sendmail, which is a huge part of how electronic mail
moves around on the Internet. Mainly for system administrators, the book
shows how to use every function, mode and mood of sendmail to get your e-
mail where it's going. A great, if single-minded, book.
