Internet Guru Steve Rimmer Takes on the World Wide Web

New book is part primer, part tour guide

The hottest thing to hit the online community since newsgroups, the World
Wide Web is the most popular way to quickly and easily browse the
Internet. In World Wide Web Explorer, the indomitable Steve Rimmer brings
his unique brand of enthusiasm to this arena, delivering an unorthodox
book that not only initiates readers on how to use the Web but also
introduces them to some of its most enticing and eclectic sites. 

Rimmer begins by providing an accessible introduction to the fundamentals,
explaining how to connect to the Internet with Web access in mind, choose
the most useful software, and use the most popular Web tools, including
Mosaic, Netscape, WinSock, and the WARP Internet access package. 

Then Rimmer whisks followers on the kind of Web tour only he can conduct.
By exploring more than 125 Web pages especially selected by Rimmer,
readers will not only become familiar with the World Wide Web, they will
also save valuable online time by browsing before they log on. 

Organized for quick, easy reference, Web pages include: 

* H.P. Lovecraft 
* Christie's auctions
* Electric sex shop 
* Internet movie database
* James Bond 
* Solar cooking
* Ragu pasta sauce
* AT&T 800 number directory 

Appendices list Internet providers and FTP sites.
