How to Use the World Wide Web

A freelance writer and Internet Web page creator introduces users to the wonderfully graphical World Wide Web with this step-by-step, full-color book. New Web users will find this book very useful as it leads them from beginner through intermediate aspects of the Web.

How to Use the World Wide Web is conveniently subtitled The Full-Color Approach to Problem Solving, a title that fits the contents well. The emphasis in the book is learning to use a Web browser and using sites that enable exploration, such as search engines and indexes. The approach is tailored to the novice, offering step-by-step instruction on Windows 95 software, with large illustrations that point the way. This approach is helpful, and it's nice that the authors include a decent slice of Web sites worth visiting to help readers understand why they'd want to be on the Web to begin with; for example, a chapter in this mode is "How to Find Art Museums on the Web." If you're looking for a book to help a total net beginner get acclimated to Netscape or Internet Explorer, this is a good choice.
