Teach Yourself Visually Computers

This is a fairly decent book for a visual look at what it takes for computers to operate.

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. :-)

I think these are useful books for beginners. Many (but not all) of the "Teach Yourself Visually" series books are good -- check reviews first on the one you are considering. This one (TYV Computers) is a good one.

This book is absolutely wonderful. It puts the information out there in a precise and easily comprehensible format. If you ever want to learn a skill or something, the visual books are a must! Whoever came up with this concept,GOT IT RIGHT!!!!!! Great product, great transaction, great price also.......Thank you

I got this book for my parents who are in their seventies and just starting to use a computer. They said it has helped them a lot.
