Y2K Survival Guide, The: Getting To, Getting Through, and Getting Past the Year 2000 Problem

Rating:
Summary: Just a joke
Review: I only want to buy this book for a joke, so that twenty years later, when nothing has happened because of the Y2K bug, I will be able to show people that book and say how gullible people were back in '99. I think it's funny to read a book like that that tells you to fill your house with canned food for a disaster that doesn't exist.

Rating:
Summary: excellent and well-written
Review: Maybe the best y2k book. Bruce Webster is not only a year 2000 expert, he's also a good writer, with a warm, friendly and clear style. This well-organized book makes a large, confusing subject easy to understand. Good, detailed recommendations on "how to prepare." And, like all good books, it's a "good read." Buy it.

Summary: Good info once you get past all the unnecessary 'chatter'
Review: Webster offers good suggestions on preparing, and does a decent job explaining the how and the whys of Y2K. Especially thought provoking are the different scenerios and the odds of any given one happening. Spends way too much time pontificating and discussing the politics of the subject. If this were to be left out, the book would be halved, with concise information
