 An excellent beginner book on computers August 9, 2008
Priscilla A. Arnold (Minneapolis, MN)
For my "Intro to Computers" class, this was an excellent text. The layout grabs your interest, with beautiful full-color illustrations in a wide variety of layouts. Inserts of stories and examples and practice problems and vocabulary practice at the end of each chapter assist with grasping the most important concepts.
I am on the computer every day, but I am not any more than a beginner in my quest for computer "literacy". This was easy to understand, and actually made me want to learn more about the subject.
One more point, I used this book in an online class, with no lectures or instructor, so all my information had to come from the book. There was no problem with that.

Peter Norton has a way of making learning computers enjoyable and interesting. Full of high quality color photographs and illustrations, this book gives you a feeling that you are guided by a patient and understanding instructor, ready to answer even questions you didn't know how to ask. The tutorial disk supplied makes the exercises come to life. A separate instructor version makes teaching the material a breeze for any level of student or class. The material will prepare the student for most hardware or software curriculums. The vocabulary is suitable for high school to college level students. Well worth the moderate cost.
