"May I thank you for a clear,concise and totally comprehensive book. With the help of ECDL/ICDL, as our sole source of information, my sons (age 10 and 11) and myself, have just successfully completed all seven modules, making my younger son the youngest holder of the qualification in the country, if not the world...........if it's clear enough for a 10 year old to work from, then it's clear enough for anyone."
