Unleashed , SAMS Publishing, 1995. Even before Windows 95 was released, there were many books introducing it, and now there are even more. For the beginner, Douglas Hergert's How to Use Windows 95 provides a gentle, gradual introduction to Windows 95, with lots of color and fancy graphics. The book is well organized, introducing topics in a logical progression. Each topic includes a How To page that guides the reader though a hands-on example.
Tip sheets provide additional information or alternative means of achieving the same goal.
The last chapter is interesting because Visual Basic is a separate product, one that most Windows 95 users are not likely to have. If you are curious, however, you can read this short introduction, which is just as clear as the other chapters. Unlike many similar books, How to Use Windows 95 introduces some of the applets-the small, useful applications that are bundled with Windows 95. Before you dash out and buy a copy of this book, you need to realize that the How To descriptions do not cover every important topic. If you are the kind of person who enjoys playing with your computer, but just doesn't know where to start with Windows 95, then this book is for you.
