REVIEW:  USING THE WORLD WIDE WEB by Bill Eager  QUE Corporation 1994
ISBN: 0-7897-0016-6   paperbound 648 pages  $27.99 USA  $38.99 Canada

Without a doubt the World Wide Web is the fastest growing and probably
the most innovative and exciting part of the Internet.  This book is
devoted exclusively to the Web and will teach you how to master its
full potential.

Not only does USING THE WORLD WIDE WEB teach you how to use the Web, it
also shows you how to find the information you need through reviews and
listings of many Web sites covering subjects ranging from business,
education and computers to news and sports.  Also included is information
on how to use several of the more popular Web browsers like Cello and
Mosaic. 

Some other topics include a chapter on how to create a WWW home page and
gives us the basics of HTML, Hyperlink, adding a graphic to your home
page, and many other neat tricks. 

Finally, Mac users are not left out - there's a chapter on using Mosaic
for Macintosh, so this book will appeal to them as well.

I found USING THE WORLD WIDE WEB to be an excellent guide to using this
exciting Internet utility.  Its packed full of information, hints, advice
and tips to bring the casual user up to speed.  I recommend this book to
all who are interested in improving their WWW skills and increasing their
net knowledge.
