Frank Condron's Review

Paul Andrews of the Seattle Times Review

Our earlier book, Windows 95 Secrets, received the following accolades:

This is what PC Magazine (December 5th, page 69) has to say about Windows 95 Secrets, 3rd edition:

"...the one indispensable guide is Brian Livingston and Davis Straub's 'Windows 95 Secrets.'"

"Instead it reveals undocumented and under documented techniques for changing almost anything in the Windows environment."

"Windows 95 Secrets towers above the competition."

"If you buy only one Windows book this year, make it this one."

What Robert Luhn says in Computer Currents, May, 27, 1996:

"Windows 95 Secrets ... is the Jaws of Life for Windows 95 users."

"Don't boot up without this book."

Here's what Scott McMahan says in the Windows 95 Books FAQ, July 1996:

"I'm not the only one that thinks this is the best all around reference. It covers the most topics, and is very well written and very readable. If you want a reference and guide to the new OS, I don't think you can go wrong with this one. By general consensus, this is the best bang for the buck."
