Summary: A fantistic time saver for a busy mom!
Review: As an young mother with two kids, I did not think I would have the time to sit down and read any books. However, this book has truly helped me in maneuvering my way through the complexity of world wide web and assisted me in learning how to utilize Google in my life. The book quickly points out how quickly it is to find what you need via Google and the different features it has. Since I have read the book, I now use Google's search engine in almost everything. No longer do I use it only as a search engine, I now also use it as a basic calculator, metric convertor, address locator, UPS and FedEx tracker, ..etc. The time you saved in searching definitely pays for this book!

Summary: A Perfect Overview of Google
Review: Did you know Google can find you best prices, do translations, or even fill out online forms for you?"How to Do Everything with Google" by Fritz Schneider goes over everything from how to enter a query all the way to configuring your Google toolbar. Whether you are a complete beginner or an advanced web browser, Google will help you use Google to it's fullest capability. The book is very friendly. Has plenty of pictures with notes and does not use technical terms. The chapters were straight to the point and kept short. To nitpick, the book could have shown examples on some advanced topic such as "advanced operators" to give a better understanding of how to use it. This was probably not included to keep the book beginner friendly. Overall, I would recommend this book to anyone that thinks Google is just another good search engine.

Summary: Excellent!
Review: First, this book was published in 2004, so it is current. Second, the authors are Google insiders, so it is accurate. Third, "Each of Google's features is explained at a basic level so as to accomodate novices,..." If you don't search every day, this book will make you better!

Summary: A Dry Read Straight From The Google Help Section
Review: I found the book a very dry read, devoid of really useful information and interesting detail. Everything in the book can be found in Google's Help section. So, I bought Learn Google and found a delightful treatment of the subject matter that gave me more than I wished for! I especially liked the search challenge and fun search examples/exercises in Learn Google. Save your money and buy Learn Google, instead.

Summary: Great tips and Tricks
Review: I have used Google for years. I was pleasently surprised to find that this book offers a bunch of tricks and tips that I was not aware of. The section on Google News was particularly enlightening. Many of the other functions of Google that I never used(image, froogle) I now understand and am impressed with thier usefulness.
All in all a good book. Great if you have never used Google, or even if you are an experienced user.

Summary: Excellent Book - Google Has Much To Offer
Review: I purchased this book at the recommendation of my grandson, our family's resident hacker and wiz. I have to say I learned quite a bit about google by reading this book. Although I would not call myself a google expert, I will say that I am now a "power user". This books is not only thorough but written well enough that a non technical person such as myself can read it. Excellent job. Well done!

Summary: A Company Book
Review: I thought I knew Google moderately well. It turns out, I didn't. I now know it better, and have a book to help me find more information more quickly when I need to. The book covers basic web search, and goes through a number of the more esoteric features (did you know you can do arithmetic in the search bar?) and goes on to discuss the news, Usenet news groups, directory, image search and Froogle, amongst other features. There's a little technical information about how Google does its stuff, but appropriately located in an appendix. The book is easily understood by anyone who can type 'google' in the search bar of their browser, and it will make you realize what an astounding resource Google is.
