Review
This is the sixth edition of the popular yellow-pages-style directory for the Internet. The directory describes and links to over 10,000 sites on the Net, featuring helpful material before the listings. After the frequently-asked-questions-style (FAQ) introduction, New Riders' Official World Wide Web Yellow Pages offers information about the Internet. Sections detail how to get connected, what browser software is available, how search engines operate, and how to set up e-mail. The directory portion of the book, organized by subject matter, includes topics such as education, finance and investment, computer technology, contemporary books and authors, and science and engineering. More esoteric subjects include paranormal phenomena and the rich and famous. An excellent section on worldwide FTP sites explains the type of files stored on those sites. The first-rate index lists each of the sites mentioned in the directory in alphabetical order. The accompanying CD-ROM contains a searchable version of the book to make it easy to get to Web sites.
