Very useful and easy to understand. The Quiz questions at the end of each chapter ensure that you have understood each part.
The index is concise, enabling quick help for a precise problem. Have now bought other books in the range.
Takes the fear out of browzing!

A beginners bible 7 April 2011
By shortie
Format:Paperback
As a complete computer novice,I borrowed this book several times from the library before buying it myself.It starts with the very basics-explaining the keyboard through to more advanced stages.Each chapter is created with a light sense of humour so your brain is not overloaded.Would recommend this book to any beginner.
