About my book!

I'm pleased to announce the publication of "Your Internet Consultant - the FAQs of Life Online" from Sams/MacMillan Publishing.

Although it seems that a zillion new Internet-related books have hit the shelves in the past year, Your Internet Consultant is a unique one that will help everyone - from beginners to experienced Internauts - learn about the Internet.

Press here to see the cover of the tome.

I publish several FAQs on the Net, including the Unofficial Internet Booklist, the Faxing from the Internet FAQ and the Internet Services Frequently Asked Questions List. That paper contains the answers to 25 of the most commonly asked questions about the Internet and its services. As a long-time Internet user and writer, I read hundreds of the same questions over and over again as each new Internet user grows on his or her own learning curve. A major problem is that most users don't know where to look for answers to all-too-common questions. And although some of this information is available online, a user must know how to navigate the net in a variety of ways (including gopher, electronic mail and FTP) just to find the smattering of documents that are supposed to help.

Your Internet Consultant - the FAQs of List Online provides simple, enlightening answers to hundreds (361, to be exact) of frequently asked questions about the Internet (as well as answers to a few questions that aren't frequently-asked, but should be.) The book is arranged in a question-and-answer format, making it blissfully simple to find just the info you need. I think you'll find the book unique, useful and a little silly.
