Reader review(s):
Dissapointing, July 27, 1999
If you've been too long surfing the Internet, the Handbook seems obvious. There's nothing for the intermediate or advanced Net user.
Well-written but out-of-date and not worth the money, March 17, 1998
Though well-written and thorough, I found many links and/or suggestions to be out of date already. Provides good advice about mailing lists, but I think there are better books at a much lower price out there.
