Product Description

New Scientist

'Carr and Pond make good tour guides: they show you everything
that is beautiful, fun and outrageous about Second Life.'


Product Description

Imagine a world in which land can be bought for less than a dollar and the only planning restrictions are those of its inhabitants’ imaginations. An online tourist destination where you can spend the morning shopping for virtual designer clothes before heading off to a live virtual gig by Suzanne Vega or Razorlight. And if you’re still not exhausted (or broke) after all that, imagine dancing the night away and perhaps taking a new friend back to your personal spaceship for virtual coffee or… well, you get the idea.

Founded in 2003, Second Life’s population recently passed the 2.5 million mark with more arriving every minute, either to live or work, or just to sight-see. The Unofficial Tourists' Guide to Second Life introduces first-time visitors and new inhabitants to the virtually endless wonders offered by this exciting new world. All Second Life is here, including:

The essentials – what to wear and how to behave

The people – finding likeminded souls – or soulmates

Key places to visit – must-see tourist hotspots, shops and shows

After Dark – because when people say that Second Life offers all of the same experiences as the real world, they really mean it

4.0 out of 5 stars A newbie's view, 7 May 2007
By Mr. Brian P. Gilbert (London, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A good read. The synopsis above gives a good picture of the content. Lacking is advice on getting to use the features systematically on an easy gradient, I am still stumbling slowly trying to get comfortable with the programme's features. The very nature of the 'Second Life game' means that there is almost infinite variety with the users continually creating the environment so there is only so much that can be explained in a book. So buy the book but be prepared to master the features on your own 'need to know' basis. The email address given bounced a message I sent. The web address given on its web page for the list of links did not work but I was able to see what it was supposed to be and then access the links page. A minor problem. Size for size it is comparable value to the Official Guide.

2.0 out of 5 stars how to write a medium selling book while drunk most of the time, 10 Jun 2007
By Jobab (Nottingham) - See all my reviews
I was somewhat disappointed with this book as I expected it to be full of tips on how to get completely smashed out of your head and still attempt to appear as if you know what you are doing. But perhaps the author will attend to that with their next book. If he isn't too busy spending time in police cells that is.
