The Virtual Bookcase Reviews of 'The Canadian Business Guide to Using the Internet: What You Can Get If You're on the Net ((Business Ser.))':

Reviewer Rob Slade wrote:
I suppose it is faint praise, indeed, to say that a book is "no worse" than the others which are available. Richards' book is, though, no worse than any of the other "Business on the Internet" books I've reviewed, and no worse than (the first edition of) "The Canadian Internet Handbook" . It also has the three advantages of being shorter, cheaper, and having better cartoons and is, therefore, to be recommended over the above. All business guides to the Internet stress the need to know the community, and rightly so. This author betrays no more faux pas than others. Netizens will, however, note a lack of familiarity which shows up in many ways, including system-specific (and incorrect) references to Usenet newsgroups. A technical background is also lacking: discussion of Internet attachment completely misses the dedicated connection that provides complete linking for a company. The book is, of course, intended specifically for small business owners and those who do not have either technical background or staff. Still, the lack of material in this area does leave those interested in actually providing information on the net dependent upon specialty "business" Internet providers and those who "rent out" commercial cyberspace. For those interested in getting connected, this does, at least, provide a very quick starting point, as well as salutary advice: "Just do it." copyright Robert M. Slade, 1995
