Customer Reviews

Great

The book was in good shape, very informative and humorous. Was received quickly and the price was very reasonable.

XP For X-tremely Pleased

I knew from the cheesy cover of this book that it was going to be an enjoyable read. Unlike some of the XP manuals I've thumbed through and discarded, this book doesn't read like Chinese and there's no "technical jargon" to bog you down. This guide explains simply and to the point. I literally lol at the author's kooky sense of humor. One of the best XP guides I've come across yet.

Just what I needed

I already knew the basics of Windows XP. I didn't want to have to suffer through a book that showed all the beginning steps of everything so this book did not disappoint me. Ms. Gookin jumped right in with project after project. Don't buy this book if you need hand holding baby steps. And don't look for long in-depth explanations of Windows. This is a down and dirty, get a project done book.

Surprisingly Helpful

I wasn't sure what kind of book this would be since it has a goofy cover, but the information inside is NOT goofy. Ms. Gookin is thorough and very helpful with her presentation of information. This project oriented book contains enough tasks and information so you can easily learn a lot more about Windows XP and accomplish some fun and helpful tasks.

Very Project Oriented!

This book is a great book for learning how to apply very nifty programs and tricks to Windows XP. This book already assumes you know the basics for running XP but shows you how to do more than you thought you knew how to do with it (thus the name). It is also very project oriented and really goes from one step to another, making sure you understand. I really enjoyed reading this book too. Ms. Gookin puts a lot of humor and enthusiasm into her work and puts computers (a dull subject anyway) into new humorous light. Thank you Ms. Gookin!
