It sounds obvious, doesn't it?

The Internet is so vast, and so fast-moving, that the most up-to-date guide really has to be an online one. But to the uninitiated, the very idea of seeking out information on the Net can be intimidating. This pocket-money paperback from the renowned Rough Guides series offers the perfect way in - and, for more experienced users, a quick-reference guide to the handiest sites on the Net.

Instead of the baffling (and often irrelevant) reams of links you'll find when browsing through an online directory, the Rough Guide edits things down to the bare essentials. Categories are kept mercifully brief, and all links are carefully chosen. This enables users to home in quickly on the information they're after, and from the comfort of the sofa. Add to that a few search tips and the occasional Internet jargon-buster, and you have the perfect way to ensure your first experience of the Internet is a happy one.
