Synopsis

Thanks to the award-winning maranGraphics team, you can begin your Windows 98 initiation by reading less and learning more. MASTER Windows® 98 VISUALLY®, the complete Windows 98 visual reference, presents Microsoft's dynamic new operating system with easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions and more than 1200 descriptive screenshots. By incorporating integrated text and graphics, MASTER Windows 98 VISUALLY actually shows you what makes Windows 98 tick.

And where MASTER Windows 98 VISUALLY ends, the interactive bonus CD-ROM begins. The CD-ROM partners with the book by allowing users to look up any part of the book on their computers. You'll also find valuable multimedia tools on the CD, such as Cybermedia FirstAid, an upgradable demo of Oil Change, and EarthLink Total Access with Netscape Navigator 4.

Reviews

MaranGraphics takes the picture-book approach to introducing Windows 98. Simplified is for the total novice. It is very simple, completely illustrated, and very clear and belongs in all public library collections. Teach Yourself and the Visual Pocket Guide focus on Window basics, file management, customizing Windows, optimizing your computer, browsing the web, exchanging E-mail, and working with channels. Neither book is deep, but both are very effective for those new to Windows 98; Teach Yourself may be best for libraries because of its standard rather than "pocket" size. Master Windows 98 Visually combines the visual approach with a comprehensive reference approach, covering just about anything you can imagine short of programming. This complete visual reference, with lots of discussion, belongs in computer labs and behind reference desks as well as in the stacks. Over all, a very well done series.
