I would rather browse this book in my garden than ricochet around the internet searching for the good sites. I like the numerous illustrations and I like the way the index gets me right to what I need. I recommend it to any gardener, even if they use the computer at the public library.
Review of Book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Free Stuff for Gardeners on the Internet is a fabulous book! I routinely use various search engines, and this book pointed me to numerous sites full of useful information that I would never have found by merely using the results of those searches. The format of the book is straightforward with many snapshots of computer screens to give you an idea of what the site is actually like. Also, there are many generalized tips such as rules for mailing lists and how to maximize the performance of audio and video files that I found helpful.The Internet is a daunting world, and a good jungle guide is invaluable. Free Stuff for Gardeners is just such a guide. I will strongly recommend this book to my friends and Garden Club members and intend to look at the other books in the series.
Better resource than any search engine
