i had been struggling with my web browser, having all sorts of crashes. Everything I tried to open kept asking me to save the file. this book saved me. it was extremely easy to read and understand and I LOVED the examples of how people were using the various plug-ins. I had no idea you could do all that with your web browser. fantastic book.

Per the last comment, of course this book is outdated…it was written back in 1998! But what a find for [this price] on Amazon! Especially if you do have older systems, like I do.
I have two older computers and my father has one too that had older browsers. We were having a hard time finding anyone who would provide us with help on them and many of the new verions of software just don’t work right with old browsers.
The real world examples I loved and although most of the links are now outdated, I had no trouble finding most of the software I needed. More suprising, I had problems with one product and thought I’d email the author, not thinking she would write back! Not only did she answer all my questions, but gave me some great tips on a windows problem I was having.
Excellent book and fantastic author. Wish I could give it more stars.

Using a browser isn’t difficult. But when things don’t work, or you don’t have any idea what a plug-in is or how to use it, this book answers all your questions.
I enjoyed the breezy, chatty style of writing. It made me feel like the author was right there answering all of my questions.
One of the best sections is where they talk about how different people are using different plug-ins to solve problems. Excellent.

This is an excellent book. The person who left one star obviously didn’t read the book. If they had, they would have commented how detailed the book is, with information you can easily find anywhere else.
Seems as if the last reviewer wanted to personally attack the author, not the book. Read the free chapter yourself to see how well written and complete this book is.

This is by far the best book on plug-ins I’ve read. Offers the most comprehensive look at the various browsers than any other book. It may be somewhat outdated at this point, but it’s still relevant if you have a browser 5.0 or below.
My title above relates to the woman (kellytools) who wrote the review. She had a vendetta against the author and took it out on her in this review, without having read the book, nor knowing anything about the author. You might want to check out the Seller Resources Soapbox if you’re curious.
