Review:
The WebPointers Internet Guide includes a 278-page Printed Edition, an identical Electronic Edition with 4,000+ active hyperlinks, and an Email Edition delivering three new 'narrative excursions' weekly.
"If you are bright, educated, interested in the World Wide Web and value your time, this book is for you," says co-author Robin Lind. "Our Guide is written for new users. We've invested our time so you don't have to waste yours."
WebPointers excursions focus on specific themes and explore multiple Websites. The narratives are jargon-stripped and designed to make complex subjects easy to understand.
"The Internet increasingly suffers from data-smog," says Kitty Williams. "the challenge is to find not just what's new, but what's useful."
Lind believes that all publishing innovations should pass what he calls the 'Four-Bs' test.
"Can you carry it from Bedroom to Bathroom to Bus to Beach?" he asks. "Books beat computers hands down." The decision to publish an Electronic Edition in PDF format as a companion to print, rather than replacement, strengthens the book, he says.
"Add the immediacy of email updates on a weekly basis," he says, "and the sum is immeasurably more powerful than its parts."
