Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought this book because I wanted to get in to Skype but didn't have a clue how to. It's very useful, advising on what to do and what to buy, and then it goes in to more detail for advanced useage. Highly recommended for anyone starting out with Skype, but even experienced Skypers will almost certainly learn a thing or two.

Just what I needed...a clear concise and intelligently written approach to utilising Skype. I just canot understand why everyone with a PC is not signed up..strongly recommended.

Format:Paperback
This may have been a useful guide to Skype when it was written in 2007, but the software has changed significantly now (2011) and the value of this book has greatly diminished. I found it very difficult to relate the book's content to what I was seeing on the Skype screens - for me this was a waste of money.

Skype — I am not a complete dummy!
I object strongly to the style of this book. In the mass of usless information, there is very little really useful help. I object to being patronised!
