The Virtual Bookcase Reviews of 'The Internet Voyeur':

Reviewer Rob Slade wrote:
Oh, get your head out of the gutter and go and stand in the corner with Senator Exon. This book is about getting and processing graphics and multimedia files from the Internet. The author covers the difference between text and "binary" files, Usenet postings, encoding, ftp, archiving and compression, graphics, sources, animation, sound, viewers, and MIME (Multi-purpose Internet Mail Extensions). Oddly, it does *not* cover the World Wide Web. (It does cite a number of W3 sites.) Howard does a very serviceable job. (Except for the part on viruses.) While not as extensive as "Internet File Formats" (see reviews), his material covers the most common standards. The explanations are clear, and he is generous with the locations of decoding and other utility software (although his URLs are sometimes a little ragged). Two chapters list a wide variety of online sources of visual content. copyright Robert M. Slade, 1996
