Synopsis

Instant, easy “recipes” illustrated in full colour, perfect for any user who is new to a program or a topic, and its low-price makes it an unbeatable bargain!

PC Basics QuickSteps provides a brief overview combined with ready reference material and simplified tutorials, like a recipe book for computer users.

3D icons alert the reader to useful notes, tips and cautions that are displayed in the margins so that they don’t break the flow of information in the quick steps themselves.
