Dummies!

The “…for Dummies” books are great, basic but include side bars with advanced and more technical info and humorous.

Actually inspite of owning a bookstore I don’t recommend purchasing the beginner’s computer books. Use your Public Library. Now when you get ready to set up your own Web Page and use HTML you will probably need to purchase.

I agree. The “Internet for Dummies” book is an excellent intro for someone who needs the real basics and isn’t ready to go too far into the deep end yet. I used to keep a copy on hand to use in explaining web stuff to a previous employer who believed it was all done by magic.
