Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐As someone who is a big fan of the Dummies books, I was so disappointed with the Kindle version. It was my own fault, since I had forgotten how important the illustrations and tables were when I used “Dummies” to learn many of the arcane mysteries of Lotus 123, and Word Perfect. When beginning with the basics, they didn’t clutter the info with too many details on the finer points of the software. They focused on the “need to know” skills, leaving the “gee whiz, I didn’t know that!” and “nice to knows” for later chapters. As I said, mea culpa, just benefit from my mistake.

⭐This newly revised, 2009 edition is the missing– actually non-existent– users’ manual for the “new” facebook. Some of the previous reviews were written about the first edition, which is, as the reviewers say, indeed obsolete.This is a very good summary of Facebook’s features for it intended audience, people who are new to social networking in general and new to Facebook specifically. As is the case with most of the “Dummies” books, the information is presented in small, easy-to-digest bites. It’s certainly not a technical book, but it’s technical enough to answer most of the questions a new user might have.The organization is very logical, beginning with how to set up an account and leading through how to add outside applications, use Facebook on a cell phone, etc. One very good feature is that at nearly every step, the authors point out pitfalls, traps, and potential dangers and explain how to avoid them. This allows new users to end up with an account that meets their needs– and one that doesn’t expose them to inconveniences or even stalkers.The authors are genuine Facebook experts; both of them are Facebook Product Managers with considerable experience. In my view, their tone is just right; it’s authoritative without being pedantic, and light without being cutsie.I bought this book because some friends recommended that I join Facebook. I had no experience with it at all, and this book allowed me to get started quickly and to feel comfortable using it. I recommend it highly to all new Facebook users and to experienced users who want or need a good summary of the “new” Facebook’s features.

⭐Because of this book, I am no longer reluctant to post things on Facebook (a fear likely NOT shared by the younger generation). I especially like the author’s explanations, repeatedly, about using the various privacy settings, and how to reveal ‘only what you want to reveal’ to different levels of friends and the general public. The author’s insider explanation of how things are structured on Facebook was so welcome. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to participate in the Facebook experience, but was afraid to try. Participating in Facebook has helped me understand the younger members of our extended family, a little glimpse here, a sentence there – it is wonderful. It also has allowed me to share ordinary moments or thoughts that happen in our physically extended family. You now can check, see a post on Facebook that they made, and be reassured that even though you haven’t spoken to them in a little while, all is still fine with them. I find that very comforting.

⭐…..not to figure out FaceBook on your own, but I had reservations about privacy so I sprung for this book. Before I could get to it, so much had changed, it wasn’t a particularly valuable read. FB is so user friendly that anyone who can read and ‘Google’ can figure it out. If you aren’t computer savvy at all, you might need this book, otherwise, jump in on your own.

⭐I found this book didn’t start with the basics. It tended to jump over certain areas and left a number of beginnger questions unanswered. Also, the diagrams did not transfer to e-book size and were virtually impossible to see.

⭐Item arrived on time and as described. I am very happy with this seller and this product.

⭐Very easy to read and understand. Short,, but gets to the point in most chapters. Highly recommend for the beginner like me.

⭐I purchased the book to learn how to label relationships on photos of family members. The book did not give this information in detail enough to do this.I cannot understand why such an important area would not be covered.The book I purchased was a 2nd. Ed. by Leah Pearlman and Carolyn Abram. I don’t know if other editions contained the information I was seeking or not?Therefore for me it was a waste of money.

⭐Help us to understand F/B a litter better.
