Reviewer Rob Slade wrote:
There is nothing essential about the material in this book. The information about the World Wide Web, browsers, HTML, HTTP and other concepts is generic, and not likely to be of help in building or browsing the WWW. As far as survival goes, how much help do you expect from a book that tells you everything about creating you own Web page except how to find a server, where to put your file up and how to code HTML. I assume that one can agree that the book *is* about Web surfing, even though there are whole (and multiple) chapters that advertise companies, list media email addresses, and explain non-net related software. The book does contain large sections of screenshots from various Web sites, as well as lists of URLs for other pages. It also contains 150 pages of unannotated HTML from random sites, huge sections of material from other people, wide margins and a lot of white space. The result is a bloated and undisciplined work which might be an inefficient reference, but is no kind of guide. copyright Robert M. Slade, 1996
