Laptops For Dummies

This is Dan Gookin's 98th book on personal computers and technology. For over 20 years, Dan has been writing about technology, contributing articles to numerous high-tech magazines, and appearing on TV, radio, and other media. Dan combines his love of writing with his interest in technology to create books that are informative, entertaining, and yet not boring. Having sold more than 14 million titles translated into over 30 languages, Dan can attest that his method of crafting computer tomes does seem to work. Perhaps his most famous title is the original DOS For Dummies, published in 1991. It became the world's fastest-selling computer book, at one time moving more copies per week than the New York Times #1 bestseller (though as a reference, it could not be listed on the NYT Bestseller list). From that book spawned the entire line of For Dummies books, which remains a publishing phenomenon to this day. Dan's most recent titles include PCs For Dummies, 9th Edition; Buying a Computer For Dummies, 2004 Edition; Troubleshooting Your PC For Dummies; Dan Gookin's Naked Windows XP; and Power Office. He publishes a free weekly computer newsletter, the "Weekly Wambooli Salad," full of tips, howtos, and computer news. He also maintains the vast and helpful Web page, www.wambooli.com. Dan holds a degree in Communications/Visual Arts from the University of California, San Diego. Presently he lives in the Pacific Northwest, where he enjoys spending time with his four boys in the gentle woods of Idaho.Gookin, Dan is the author of 'Laptops For Dummies', published 2004 under ISBN 9780764575556 and ISBN 0764575554.
