There's a lot more to say about the Internet than we had room for in The Internet for Dummies. However, this book didn't sell well eough to justify updating it almost yearly, the way we do for The Internet For Dummies. So although this is the latest edition of it's terribly out of date and we don't recommend it any more. Instead, get Internet Secrets or Internet: The Complete Reference, both of which have lots more information than either For Dummies book (because they are over twice as big!).

Important Features
