5.0 out of 5 stars TEACH YOURSELF VISUALLY COMPUTER LEARNING BOOKS Aug 25 2009

I teach basic beginner computer classes at two area senior centers. Most students begin the classes in sheer terror of the unknown, mysterious computer. I knew I had to find a way to give these folks more confidence and knowledge than I could give them.

I found these books while browsing for easy to understand computer help books. I immediately fell in love with the presentation and contents and I knew I had to share these wonderful books with my students. After ordering my personal copies to show them, I accepted orders for the books of their choice, ordered the books and charged the students the cost of the book and shipping charges.

I have had so many rave reviews from those students who bought the books. Most call the series a Blessing. One student ordered his own copies and two more of the series so he could ship them to an online friend three thousand miles away. I think this speaks volumes for the Teach Yourself Visually Series.

No more of the yellow computer books for Dummies in my classes. :-)
