Summary: Must have resource
Review: Hurry, add this book to your shopping cart! Carmen Leal wrangled thousands of details on access to the Information Superhighway and compiled them in one easy-to-use book. Never again wade through hundreds or thousands of entries when researching. Find the definitions, specific dates, quote attributions, and more with one or two mouse clicks. You'll have the search refined, and a guide to specific sites likely to have the information you need. WriterSpeaker.com is a wonderful resource for professionals, but also for students, and parents of students. Leal answers questions you didn't even know you had, until you saw the answer in her book. I can't recommend this book highly enough. And, when the next edition is published, I'll buy it too. The Internet is a constantly changing entity, and WriterSpeaker.com helps me use my research time more efficiently.

Summary: A Must Have!
Review: If you don't have a copy of this guide, you're missing one of the best tools a writer can have. This guide to the Internet is, I believe, as much a necessary part of every writers library as a good dictionary, thesaurus and the Writers Market guide. Carmen shares tips and resources she has gathered through her own online experiences, and has presented it in a very user-friendly format. Packed with good information for beginner or professional, you will find yourself reaching for it over and over. I know I have.
