This book seems to be an old edition since some of the newer features are not included. As a new user to Yahoo, it was a disappointment.

Although this book was published in September of 1999, by now (November of 1999), many sections of it are already obsolete. Keeping up with a great service like Yahoo! can only be done online.

I've used Yahoo for years, but I never knew what I was missing until I took a chance on this book. It's definitely worth buying! The book treats Yahoo like more than just a Web site....like an online service. I'm using Yahoo even more than I did before, and getting more out of my online time. I never knew about Yahoo Companion or how to talk with somebody for free, anywhere in the world....I've got my family across the country using it now, and saving money off the phone bill. Very useful book....lots of humor....really opened my eyes to Yahoo.
