NEW FROM HARLEY HAHN - THE FULLY UPDATED INTERNET COMPLETE REFERENCE HELPS
USERS TAKE FULL ADVANTAGE OF THE NET

Berkeley, CA February 5, 1996--Now more timely, helpful and useful than
ever before, Harley Hahn's Internet Complete Reference, Second Edition,
published by Osborne/McGraw-Hill, is not an ordinary computer book, but a
knowledgeable, inviting companion to accompany every journey through the
Internet. From the very first pages readers will notice that this book is
different from other guides, largely because Internet expert and
best-selling author Harley Hahn treats his book as a vital, personal
connection between himself and his readers. Whether readers are seeking to
learn the Internet basics or expand on their existing knowledge, Hahn
promises to serve as teacher, coach and friend. 

Hahn explains his reasoning for writing The Internet Complete Reference: "I
like explaining things to people, because I believe that to use anything
well, you need to understand what it is and how it works. That's why I've
organized my book to make mastering the Internet a logical and comfortable
process." Readers familiar with Hahn's previous best-sellers, including
The Internet Yellow Pages, will find that The Internet Complete Reference
is a welcome addition that complements and enhances the territory covered
in his earlier titles. They are also sure to appreciate Hahn's trademark
witty, engaging style, which both reassures and entertains readers while
always respecting their intelligence. 

According to Scott Rogers, Osborne/McGraw-Hill's executive editor, "Harley
has the unique ability to take the vast and potentially confusing Internet
and distill it into a resource that is clear, understandable, and yet
irreverently entertaining. That's why he's such a good teacher, and why
his readers are so devoted. What I like about The Internet Complete
Reference is that Harley makes the Internet accessible to everyone." 

In The Internet Complete Reference, Harley Hahn takes the unique approach
of considering the Internet together with its visual component, the World
Wide Web. By showing how they work together, readers will understand how
to navigate both the Net and the Web with confidence. 

With The Internet Complete Reference Hahn addresses the latest Internet and
Web innovations in order to answer important questions such as: 

* What is needed to connect to the Internet? 
* How can the Internet be used to communicate with people around
  the world using electronic mail, chat rooms, IRC, and muds? 
* How can browsers be used to access a variety of Internet resources
  such as gopher, ftp, Usenet, telnet and mail? 

To help users find powerful Internet resources, Hahn has included a 200
page directory with The Internet Complete Reference with hundreds of
entries. Throughout the guide icons serve to alert readers to pertinent
information that can be quickly referenced in the easy-to-read catalog
listings.

and has illustrations throughout. Suggested retail price: $32.95. ISBN:
