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. |
