The Virtual Bookcase Reviews of 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Electronic Highway':

Reviewer Rob Slade wrote:
Nope, not the Internet (at least, not *much* Internet), but an overview of the major commercial online services. There are relatively few books done in a similar vein, but most of those are either ads for the services or extremely limited bit of documentation. ("In order to send mail, select "Mail" from the menu!") Kane's book takes a broader look at the available services. Her instructions for use are much more helpful, and the comparative format is much more effective in providing a clear understanding of the options. The reader has a much better idea of the functionality of different systems. The book is starting to show some signs of dating, particularly with the recent drive, by *all* online services, to Internet access and the use of Internet tools to access "subscriber only" information and services. Still the job is well done, so there are a few signs of life yet. copyright Robert M. Slade, 1996
