I picked up "Internet Insider" quite by accident, but once I
opened it, I could not put it down.  The cover is right off a
tabloid, touting such headlines as "Boy's Soul Sucked Into Fax
Modem", and of course the obligatory "Aliens Use Internet To
Speak to Chosen Few".  Inside, you'll find topics which range
>from very strange to even stranger.  There are serious stories
too.  In short, the essence of the net has been captured in book
form.

"Internet Insider" is not a reference book or a list of "cool"
places to visit.  It is more like a snapshot of the Internet on a
typical day.  This book is a perfect introduction for someone who
has not quite decided to buy that modem, but is curious about
what is online.  I left my copy in the office lunchroom and have
only caught glimpses of it being passed from desk to desk.

I have a few years of internet access under my belt, and I found
"Internet Insider" to be a real fun book to read.  It is
published by Osborne-McGraw Hill and written by Ruffin Prevost.
