Just about anyone could use this book. It is great for beginners who have a basic knowledge of Windows and the Web, and Intermediate and Advanced users who want more information. The Complete Idiot's Guides are designed for anyone not familiar with a topic or technology. They are clever, conversational tours through the most commonly used features of a product. Rather than covering every way to accomplish each task, these books focus on doing things the simplest, most straightforward way. They are created to be non-intimidating and put the novice user at ease with the friendly, funny writing style. | ||
The book is divided into four parts. It starts with the basics of online shopping, moves on to teaching you how to be a cybersavvy online shopper, clues you in on all the ways to great bargains online, and finally, teaches you how to buy anything over the Internet or with an online service. It is well-organized and full of funny cartoon graphics, which I have used in this review. The author uses two boxes to provide you with inside secrets, tips, and bits of information that will help you get the most out of your money when you shop online.
Glossary, "Speak Like a Geek," defines important computer and technical terms. |
