Hello all ...... Anything that gives out
good information and contributes
to one's positive knowledge is good.
The dummy series books have given a
lot of people positive information.

I agree 100%...don't let the title fool anyone...
The "XYZ for Dummies" books are great because they assume
the reader knows nothing and then provide guidance that
allows a reader to jump over material they do already know.
All too often attempts at beginner level books written by
experts in their field often assume far too much basic knowledge
or understanding on the part of the reader. I taught an Intro
to the Internet class a few times in our local adult ed program
and I always recommended the "dummies" books. No one ever
regretted buying one.
