WebWord Weblog Posting Posting Date: December 01, 2002 Why Computer Books Suck -- "Ever notice that most computer books fail to provide the information you need? Most simply rearrange, reformat, and regurgitate the same information included in the manufacturer's documentation. What good is that? The whole point of buying an additional book is to benefit from the insights of an independent, unbiased expert."
Reader Comments...
I buy 'technical computer books' when I need a manual for some software I have purchased. I tend to buy the thinner ones as they are usually better than re-formatted manuals. I have not seen a good manual since the Mac manual. For the past five years no software publishers (in my experience) have produced any halfway decent manuals and always point people to their 'online' equivalent.
