In designing the latest incarnation of this series, we started with the premise that people like you, who are beginning to intermediate computer users, want to take control of your own learning. To do this, you need the proper tools to find answers to questions so you can solve problems now.

In designing a series of books that provide such tools, we created a unique and concise visual format. The added bonus: Teach Yourselfbooks; actually pack more information into their pages than other books written on the same subjects. Skill for skill, you typically get much more information in a Teach Yourselfbook. In fact, Teach Yourself books, on average, cover twice the skills covered by other computer books - as many as 125 skills per book - so they're more likely to address your specific needs.
