Not Just Another Windows 95 Book

---------------------------------------------------------------------
"Toss out the other Windows books--this one is the best." -- Peter Lewis,
The New York Times, reviewing the previous edition
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Berkeley, CA-Finding one's way around the 500-some Windows 95 books is a
little like navigating through the hype and hoopla surrounding the release
of Microsoft's newest operating system. But one book--The Windows 95
Bible--stands out among all the others: 

* It's the most comprehensive book on Windows 95, covering everything
  from starting it up to harnessing its advanced techniques;
* It describes the real-world of Windows 95, based on using the final
  product on several different machines in many different ways (most
  of the other books were rushed to press before the final product was
  available even for testing);
* It's engagingly written and filled with humor ("The Explorer could
  be described as Windows 3.1 File Manager on steroids");
* It reveals the inner secrets of Windows 95 as well as of Microsoft
  and the industry
* It follows the style and format that made its predecessor, The
  Windows 3.1 Bible, finalist for Best Advanced Systems Book in the
  1993 Computer Press Awards;
* The author, a top computer journalist, tells it like it is
  ("Microsoft claims on the box that Windows 95 runs on a 386
  processor, but I consider that more fiction than fact"). 

The Windows 95 Bible is divided into three sections. Part 1, "Mastering the
Environment," covers the new interface, how to navigate the system,
personalize it, and use its displays. Part 2, "Inside Windows 95," looks
at fonts, printing, networking, and communications. Part 3, "Advanced
Windows 95 Techniques," explores multimedia, Windows 95 resources,
integrating applications with DDE and OLE, and much more.
