› Find signed collectible books: 'The Internet for Dummies'
Even if you're not a dummy, the sixth edition of The Internet for Dummies is one of the best user's guides to the Internet now available. Many so-called Internet books are nothing more than printed collections of Web addresses, but John Levine, Carol Baroudi, and Margaret Levine Young recognize that deciding to use the Internet involves financial commitments and computer-hardware decisions as much as it does looking at neat pictures. That said, don't expect to set up your own e-commerce site with this book, and don't expect to find step-by-step instructions for starting your computer. But do expect to get some good advice about picking an ISP (Internet Service Provider), protecting your privacy (and your kids), and connecting with Windows or a Mac. The authors also do an exceptional job of explaining such terms as PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) and what it is for, and they even talk about the old Unix shell account (with a Lynx text browser) for those not getting a PPP account. You'll find tips for optimizing your browser for speed, building your first Web page, managing e-mail, subscribing to mailing lists, and, yes, shopping. What is most impressive, however, is the balanced approach the authors take in evaluating Web sites (they do give some Web addresses), online services, and browser software. They offer the pros and cons and let you sort it out. They also include their own Web address so you can look for updates to the book and check on their latest favorites. --Patrick O'Kelley [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Unix Dictionary of Commands, Terms, and Acronyms'
For 20 years, UNIX has been part of mainstream computing - and its popularity keeps growing. More and more computer users and professionals dealing with PCs and workstations are faced with learning UNIX. But because UNIX has been around for so long, it has evolved a language of its own. And that means that even the most computer-literate users can have trouble keeping their "bangs" and "flags" and "anonymous ftps" straight. This UNIX dictionary provides definitions for thousands of UNIX-specific terms, all carefully cross-referenced. Users will find succinct definitions of: UNIX commands; utilities distributed with UNIX; file formats; communication protocols; and system calls. In addition, this resource refers the reader to standard UNIX documentation for each command, utility or concept that is defined, including background coverage and other sources of published information. To meet the needs of UNIX users at all levels of expertise, it features a concise introduction to UNIX and a comprehensive listing of all available UNIX documentation. [via]

It is both powerful and simple enough that computer users now have the opportunity to try new things, from multimedia computing to Internet connections.
