Easing Onto the Information Superhighway

Berkeley, CA--Merging onto a freeway for the first time can be pretty
scary. So can jumping onto the Information Superhighway. That's why anyone
interested in going online will appreciate the clear, reassuring
instructions found in The Little Online Book: A gentle introduction to
modems, online services, electronic bulletin boards, and the Internet.
Written by Alfred Glossbrenner, the computer author the New York Times has
hailed as "The Great Communicator," this book makes going online as easy
as dialing the telephone. A slew of coupons good for more than $100 worth
of discounts on modems, online subscriptions, and connect time makes the
experience inexpensive, too.

In The Little Online Book, Glossbrenner shows readers how to get connected
and how to choose the online service best suited to their needs. He offers
time- and money-saving tricks for using bulletin boards, and neat stuff on
how to send a message via modem to anyone, anywhere on the planet. Plus,
he reveals the best reason for going online--the thousands of Special
Interest Groups (SIGs) and clubs that bring people together from all over
the world. He shows how to find them and how to tap in.

Each chapter is short and to the point. Whether it's "E-mail on the
Internet," "Where to get the Best Bulletin Board Phone Numbers," or
"Keyboard Commerce: Buying and Selling Online," readers are never burdened
with more than they want (or need) to know. The Online Cookbook at the end
of the book takes readers by the hand, showing them exactly what steps
they need to follow to get to where they want to go. Glossbrenner's deep
knowledge, friendly tone, and clear explanations make the foray into the
online world lots of fun. So do the lively and humorous line drawings by
well-known illustrator and cartoonist John Grimes (see above).

Author Alfred Glossbrenner has written more than 30 books and probably put
more people online than any other single individual. Starting with The
Complete Handbook of Personal Computer Communications in 1982 and
continuing through Internet Slick Tricks in 1994, his computer tides have
sold more than 600,000 copies.
