BOTTOM-LINE:
Good overview
.
PLOT OR PREMISE:
Good overview from beginning to end
.
WHAT I LIKED:
A bit dated at the point of reading (1999), with some of the "new features" old hat, and as well, some of the "old features" hade changed. However, the approach is light, and easy to follow, from beginning to end, and what makes this such a great resource is the CD-ROM disk that comes with it, containing some great software and sample coding to save the tired typist.
.
WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE:
n/a
.
DISCLOSURE:
I received no compensation, not even a free copy, in exchange for this review. I am not personal friends with the author, nor do I follow him / her on social media.

This was my childhood introduction to how to computer - it's now completely out of date and utterly worthless, but to my 8 year old self loved this book like no other.
