From Booklist:
Until recently, access to the Internet was restricted to academics and scientists. Now there are many ways for people with no academic affiliation to get entry to this electronic highway. Gilster explains in relatively nontechnical language how to use the Internet to send and receive electronic mail, how to explore files in thousands of remote computers using telnet, how to use Bitnet and its listservs, and how to use tools such as archie and veronica to learn what's out there in cyberspace. An appendix lists organizations that provide dial-up Internet access for a fee. Gilster assumes his readers have some experience using a modem to reach bulletin boards or one of the commercial services such as CompuServe, but his book is easier to use than many of the so-called "beginner's" guides. Sandy Whiteley
From Library Journal:
Glister's 16 chapters, plus an appendix of Internet providers, takes readers on a dizzying view of Internet. In the first quarter of the book, you pick up a global perspective on Internet, while in the second, you learn how to use Internet for your own personal devices with mail, FTP (file transfer protocol), and telnet. In the second half, you master how to take advantage of Internet resources from electronic journals to WAIS databases. Overall, Gilster commendably organizes Internet facts and experiences well, making them accessible to both beginner and old-timer alike. If there's only one book on Internet that you can afford on your shelf, this is your best choice.
