Review
This chunky and inexpensive volume of nearly a thousand pages is the sort of book that might result if you collected all the best published morsels relating to the PC--that is, a massive task. PC Complete is a full resource and a good starting point as a general reference to many aspects of the PC, both hardware and software, and suited to both the beginner and fairly informed home PC user. It is divided into six sections: Windows Basics; Hardware and Troubleshooting; Office Basics; The Internet; Gaming and Music; and Home Networking. Each section has several interesting articles, ranging from overviews and basic explanations to detailed instructions on how to accomplish vital tasks. The style is pleasant, "chatty" and clear, and its consistency is surprising, given that it is the product of a virtual squad of writers.
Illustrations, including screen shots, are plentiful and well-captioned. There are two large and helpful appendices: an alphabetical index of vendors, with full contact details, and a "complete hardware dictionary". The former is great, but contains only USA addresses and telephone numbers; the latter is surprisingly good. The index is reasonable, though at times you have to search through several alternative names before finding the topic you want. The sections are easily accessed through a thumb index, as a shaded tab bleeds off the edge of each page. --Wilf Hey
