From: "Savetz@northcoast.com" Subject: UNOFFICIAL INTERNET BOOKLIST (VERSION 1.1) Date: Tue, 7 Mar 1995 10:06:09 GMT to the Internet. The second section, written by the people who built the Internet, deals with technical aspects of the major protocols and applications of the Internet. Part three, "Infrastructure," covers issues not centrally relevant to the operation of the Internet, but supporting its use: network performance and management, backbone and node tools, directory services and operational security. The bibliographic information contained in the book overall might be worth the price alone. Quarterman's contribution is carefully and fully researched and well organized. It includes not only texts, but periodicals and online sources as well.

McBride Publisher: IDG Books ISBN: 1-56884-300-3 Price: $29.95 Published: 1994 Notes: A thick book listing about 100,000 e-mail addresses. (Although that may seem like a lot, it's not very comprehensive.) Addresses are listed by last name and are also indexed by Internet domain name. This book may be useful for finding associates' e-mail addresses, but is probably no more useful than using one of the many 'net-based e-mail- address search utilities. The book is unevenly edited (I'm in there three times!) and was woefully out of date before the ink was dry.

Hahn and Stout do it right - this book is a resource that long-time Internet addicts and new users will enjoy equally well. Organization is intuitive and consistent. Although it does not point you to as many online resources as some other directories, the ones it points to tend to be high-quality and truly interesting sites to visit. Well-researched and well-indexed.

(Macintosh users can mail in an coupon to receive a Mac disk with similar software for a nominal shipping and handling fee) and one month free connect time Published: April 1994 For more information: 800-428-5331 or 317-581-3500 Notes: Nearly identical to Navigating the Internet (above) except it includes a disk with Internet Software for Microsoft Windows and a few extra chapters: "A Better Window on the Web: Mosaic", "Using the Internet for Business", as well as versions of the online references Gopher Jewels and PDIAL. I suppose it's worth the extra five bucks for this book versus the vanilla Navigating the Internet, especially if you use Windows and need the software. Title: The Net After Dark Author: Lamont Wood Publisher: John Wiley & Sons ISBN: 0-471-10347-0 Price: $16.95 Pages: 352 Published: November 1994 For more information: 1-800-US-WILEY Notes: Ad says: The Underground Guide to the Coolest, the Newest, and the Most Bizarre Hangouts on the Internet, CompuServe, AOL, Delphi, and More Title: netchat Author: Kelly Maloni Publisher: Random House ISBN: 0-679-75814-3 Price: $19.00, $25.00 CAN Pages: 281 Published: 1994 Thanks for the info: Michael Crestohl Notes: Focuses on interacting with others through newsgroups, mailing lists, IRC chat groups, forums and support groups - in a word, contact.

Divided into chapters titled Cybersex, Fans, On the Fringe, Net Op-Ed, Coffee House, Identity and Support. There are several listings on where to discuss sexual matters of all kind and even perhaps meet that "special someone" waiting out there just for you. Title: netgames Author: Michael Wolff Publisher: Random House Price: $19.00 Pages: 272 Published: 1994 Notes: Games on the Internet. Title: Netguide Author: Peter Rutten, Albert Bayers III & Kelly Moloni Publisher: Random House ISBN: 0-679-75106-8 Price: $19.00 Pages: 384 Published: 1994 For more information: (800) 345-8112 Thanks for the info: Educom newsletter Notes: As the "TV Guide of Cyberspace," this book provides pointers by subjects to Internet sites, USENET newsgroups, and commercial resources (CompuServe, American Online, etc.) It proves that there's something for everyone somewhere out in the electronic world.

It's easy to read and loaded with interesting real-life examples. Chapters cover netiquette of e-mail and of discussion groups as well as providing excellent netiquette guidelines for business, home and school use. Particularly useful sections cover Electronic Style (looking good online, tone of voice and signature files) and the "core rules" of the online world. One chapter covers copyright issues and another the etiquette of e-mail privacy. There's even a tiny chapter on "Love & Sex in Cyberspace". This book should be required reading for anyone collecting their Internet Learner's Permit. (You can retrieve a brief excerpt from Netiquette: "The Core Rules of Netiquette" by sending e-mail to netiquette-request@albion.com with the words "archive send core" in the subject line.) Title: netmoney Author: Michael Wolff Publisher: Random House Published: 1995 Notes: Financial information on the Internet. Title: NetPages Publisher: Aldea Communications ISBN: none listed Price: Free Pages: ~200 Published: 1994 (updated twice a year) For more information: 619-943-0101 or e-mail to info@aldea.com Notes: Of the various Internet White and Yellow pages books out there, this one looks and acts the most like a "real" telephone book: personal listings of your name and e-mail address are free, advertising space in the yellow pages section is available for a fee, and the book itself it distributed for free. With only a few thousand names in the first edition, this listing is hardly the most complete, but it only contains information about people who choose to be listed. Title: NetPower: Resource Guide to Online Computer Services Author: Persson, Eric Publisher: Fox Chapel Publishing ISBN: 1-56523-031-0 Price: $39.95 + $3.00 shipping Pages: 774 Published: 1993 For more information: netpower1@aol.com, 1-800-457-9112 Notes: All I know is what their catalog says: The most exciting section of this guide is devoted to the Internet.

Indeed, it does. It's a suprisingly well-written, thoughtful and detailed guide to finding adult-oriented stuff on the 'net. Lots of insigtful text and not one sleazy picture. Includes info on discussion lists, anonymity, finding dirty pictures and so on. Title: Network and Distributed Systems Management Author: Morris Sloman, editor Publisher: Addison-Wesley ISBN: 0-201-62745-0 Price: $50.50 Pages: 650 Published: 1994 For more information: awbook@aw.com or (800) 822-6339. Notes: From the publicist: "Networks and distributed computer systems are becoming critical to the functioning of many organizations. As these systems become larger and more complex the issue of how to manage them becomes more and more difficult. A complete reference on network management for network engineers, managers, lecturers and trainers." Topics include monitoring distributed systems, security, specifications and underlying technologies. Quality information, heavy on theory, reads like a text book.

Title: The New Hacker's Dictionary Author: Edited by Eric Raymond and Guy L. Steele Publisher: MIT press ISBN: 0-262-68079-3 Price: 14.95 Pages: 453 Published: 2nd edition, 1994. For more information: (800) 356-0343 or (617) 625-8481 Notes: The New Hacker's Dictionary is a great book for learning about the various slang, jargon and customs and folklore of the 'net (as well as other lairs of the hacker.) Very silly and highly recommended. You can get it for free online (The Jargon File) at http://www.ccil.org/jargon/jargon.html, but the bound book makes great bathroom reading and contains silly cartoons and stuff. Title: New Riders' Official Internet Directory Author: Christine Maxwell and Czeslaw Jan Grycz Publisher: New Riders Publishing ISBN: 1-56205-4082 Price: $29.95 Pages: 800 Published: 2nd ed, 1995 This huge book covers vast ground in its 900-plus pages. Although the quantity is there, the quality isn't exceptional: it is rather unevenly edited. Some of the listings seem to be listed by name rather than subject and many items are listed in multiple places, artifically inflating the size of the book. This index is unique in that it contains listings of some commercial services available via the Internet, such as DIALOG. Icons differentiate the free resources from the costly ones. Formerly New Riders' Official Internet Yellow Pages. Title: On Internet '94: An International Title and Subject Guide to Electronic Journals, Newsletters, Texts, Discussion Lists, and Other Resources on the Internet Author: Internet World Magazine Publisher: Meckler ISBN: 0-88736-929-4 Price: $45.00 Pages: 500 Published: 1994 Notes: "Your guide to the full range of Internet-accessible data files - from artificial intelligence to women's studies, from space exploration to rock music, from environment studies to AIDS research."

Title: PC Internet Tour Guide Author: Michael Fraase Publisher: Ventana Press ISBN: 1-56604-084-1 Price: $24.95 Pages: 284 Goodies: PC floppy disk with useful software. Two periodic updates via e-mail. One month of free online time from MRNet. Published: 1994 For more information: dilennox@aol.com Notes: This book (with floppy disk) for MS-DOS users helps newcomers get online and take their first steps on the 'net. Fraase first wrote the Mac Internet Tour Guide, and this book seems more like an afterthought than a follow-up. Chapters cover obligatory topics like What is the Internet, Getting Connected, Network News, Transferring Files, Using Gopher and Other Internet Resources. The book's organization leaves something to be desired: talk of telnet, FAQs and Netfind (hardly unimportant topics) are lumped together in the "Other Resources" chapter near the back of the book. The book includes some interesting real-life examples and ideas for things to do online, but too much (for my taste) focuses on how to set up and use the bundled software. Title: Planet Internet Author: Steve Rimmer Publisher: McGraw-Hill ISBN: 0-07-053015-7 Price: $24.95 Pages: 315 Published: 1994 For more information: http://uunorth.north.net:8000/alchemy/html/alchemy.html or 70007.1531@compuserve.com or (800) 352-3566 Notes: Ad copy says: "The first irreverent book on exploring this electronic subculture."

Covers electronic mail (including mailing lists), gopher, newsgroups and netiquette. Despite its trim size, it is an interesting and valuable for the beginner, filled with lots of interesting tidbits. Title: Practical Internetworking with TCP/IP and UNIX Author: Carl-Mitchell/Quarterman Publisher: Addison-Wesley ISBN: 0-201-58629-0 Price: $45.75 Published: 1993 For more information: tic@tic.com Title: Realizing the Information Future: the Internet and Beyond Author: National Research Council Publisher: National Academy Press Price: $24.95 Pages: 301 Title: Riding the Internet Highway Author: Sharon Fisher Publisher: New Riders Publishing ISBN: 1-56205-192-X Price: $16.95 Pages: 266 Published: 1993 For more information: phyllis@prenhall.com Thanks for the info: Robert Slade Notes: Fisher shows admirable restraint in limiting the scope of this book. Where others try to produce "complete" documentation for the "whole" Internet, Fisher flatly states (correctly) that this is impossible. Where others try to take you "from the modem up," Fisher suggests you get some basic experience with local bulletin boards. The intent is to give desktop (PC and Mac) users some basic grounding in Internet functions and tools. As such, the book is much less imposing than most of the others of this ilk. (Cheaper, too.) For the majority of new users, however, this is a good, basic introduction. What shortcomings there are in specific information can be quickly filled in once a user has gotten onto the net. The very personal style here probably more than makes up for any other lacks--the Internet is primarily other people, not technologies. Title: SATURN: A Beginners Guide To Using the Internet Author: Kyle Cassidy Publisher: RCNJ Press Price: $3 Pages: 110 For more information: cassidy@saturn.rowan.edu Notes: Almost the only Internet book that is specifically for VAX/VMS users (you poor things.) The manual is somewhat specific for our VAX 4000, but it can be used by anyone who is netting with VMS. It's also available online for free, FTPable from: gboro.rowan.edu:/pub/Saturn_Guide Title: sendmail Author: Bryan Costales Publisher: O'Reilly & Associates ISBN: 1-56592-056-2 Price: $32.95 Pages: 830 Published: 3rd printing Sep 1994 For more information: info@ora.com Notes: While not strictly an Internet book, this tome focuses on one thing: the UNIX program sendmail, which is a huge part of how electronic mail moves around on the Internet. Mainly for system administrators, the book shows how to use every function, mode and mood of sendmail to get your e-mail where it's going. A great, if single-minded, book.

The book is outstanding, but probably not of interest to a general Internet audience. Title: Simple Internet Author: Jeffrey M Cogswell Publisher: Waite Group ISBN: 1-878739-79-4 Price: $16.95, $23.95 Canada Pages:162 Published: 1994 Thanks for the info: Michael Crestohl Notes: Michael Crestohl says: Uses a innovative approach to teaching basic Internet skills - it is actually a mystery novel in which the reader assumes the identity of Archie Finger, Ace Private Eye. You'll unravel the mystery of the Simple Internet Connection. Assumes the reader access Internet with a UNIX shell. Aimed at young people and its novel approach is different from all other basic "how-to" Internet books I've seen. The illustrations and graphics remind me of the comic books of my youth.

If you're interested in reading (or publishing) an online magazine, it shows you where to go for the goods on Usenet, in mailing lists and on WWW. If you're looking for a job, the authors show you not only how to find job listings online, but how to use the 'net to reserach prospective employers and find international job sources. It also covers lots of ground in education, art, entertainment and business. Even if you've been on the 'net for years, this book can show you corners of the 'net you've never imagined. Title: Teach Yourself Web Publishing with HTML in a Week Author: Laura Lemay Publisher: Sams ISBN: 0-672-20667-0 Price: $25 Pages: 400 Published: 1994 For more information: http://www.mcp.com Notes: This book describes how to write, design, and publish information on the World Wide Web.

Colorful but hard to read. There are also easy-to-follow instructions for using each one, plus tips, shortcuts, and pointers to the best and most interesting features. Interesting stuff, but seems to favor the online services featuring ZiffNet online. I wonder why...

The majority of the book is a list of Usenet newsgroups and the FAQs that live in each - information that can easily be found online at no cost.

It also presents the fundamental topics that are all too often assumed and considered trivial by many network users. It covers the basic utilities and information reaching other networks. An earlier, much less comprehensive version is available via FTP; see previous section. Matisse Enzer says: Very friendly general overview book. Not really a how-to book, rather a Cultural Companion that explain what each type of Internet resource is, as well as the cultural and traditional uses and issues. Includes a chapter on "Things you will hear about..." this chapter explains many famous (and infamous) Internet events and entities. Title: !%@:: A Directory of Electronic Mail Addressing and Networks Author: Donnalyn Frey & Rick Adams Publisher: O'Reilly & Associates ISBN: 1-56592-046-5 Price: $9.95 Pages: 640 Published: 4th ed, June 1994 For more information: 800-998-9938 or info@ora.com Thanks for the info: Robert Slade Notes: This book is a reference work. It details the various computer networks with gateways to the Internet. It is common to cite such works as "indispensable": in fact, most users, and even site managers, muddle along quite happily without it. Quick reference "electronic" versions exist of very similar documents, which provide the addressing schemes for the more common network and commercial service gateways. Frey and Adams have, however, put together a very complete and interesting reference, and I do suggest it to anyone managing, or using, extensive e-mail correspondence. As a user of electronic mail, or the manager of a small Internet node or UUCP site, it would be hard to say that you "need" this book. If, however, you are at all interested in the topic of e-mail, you will find this fascinating and useful. *** Publisher/Ordering Information Academic Press 955 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge, MA 02139 Addison-Wesley Gopher: gopher aw.com E-mail: 74230.3622@compuserve.com Orders: 800-822-6339.
