Anyone planning a lavish gift—a computer for themselves or someone
near and dear—might profit by going to the children’s bookshelves if
they’re also adding the Net to the package. Try The Internet and World Wide Web
by Philippa Wingate and Asha Kalbag for a straightforward introduction. Adults
will find it a relief from the wrist-breaking manuals, and it’ll keep the young
quietly occupied . . . Published by Usborne, £8.99, ISBN 0746033427.
