 10 Times Worth it's Price October 11, 2008
Lightshiner (Lithonia, GA)
After reading some of the previous reviews, I was a little hesitant about buying this book, but how glad I am I did. This book is packed with all kinds of useful information. I've been an "cyberspacer" for about 10 years, so I'm pretty good on the web. But I found some golden nuggets that I have never seen anywhere else and most of it was ways to save money on things that I have previously paid for. If anyone is considering buying this book, I pray that you read my review. It is worth every penny and then some. t either gave me options to save money or pointed me to another site that would. It linked me to other sites that are just as power packed as the book is. For those reviews that said that it could be found on the internet if you took the time to look for it, I definitely challenge that. I even tried to google some of the things and it didn't come up. So to me you would have to be a real "techy" to know where to find this kind of stuff. These are definitely secrets worth having! Five stars are not enough for this great tool!

Excellent book. Really excellent. Doesn't make you feel like an idiot for not knowing much about Gmail
VERY highly recommended
Indispensible Reference For Novices and Web Heads Alike June 6, 2008
Venomous Kate of ElectricVenom *dot* com (Kansas)
I'd originally purchased this to give to my husband who's constantly pestering me to look things up on the internet because he doesn't know how to find them easily. After thumbing through a few chapters, I realized that it's not just for novices at all.
I'm a blogger, and I'm online almost constantly. Even so, I found plenty of information here that has made my online time more efficient, just as the title promised.
Not only did I wind up getting another copy for my husband (because I'd dog-eared the first one for my own use), but I gave one to a relative who's driven me nuts with her "How do I...?" phone calls (which almost without fail come right as we sit down to dinner).
Awesome resource.
 Rule the Web May 15, 2008
Keith M. Harrod (Haverhill, IA USA)
Mark Frauenfelder certainly covers a lot of ground and isn't kidding with the books subtitle "How to do anything and everything on the Internet - better, faster, easier.
This is the kind of book that you will want to keep on a shelf right by your computer for handy reference. Read the book from front to back cover or skip around and sample the chapters that interest you the most. Whichever way you do it you will learn some handy new things about surfing the web.
You may also want to keep paper, pencil, and a highlighter handy for noting all the web site addresses in the book. I was disappointed there wasn't an appendix of them or at least some method of highlighting them when the book was printed.
If you can't learn from this book, you're some kind of god January 18, 2008

One site described in the book made the whole purchase price worthwhile. A gold mine of information. The claim on the cover that you can "raze you old home page and build a modern Web masterpiece" is unfounded. Otherwise spectacular.
