Go! with Word 2007, Comprehensive
Author: Shelley Gaskin
The primary goal of the GO! Series, aside from teaching computer applications, is ease of implementation, with an approach that is based on clearly-defined projects for students and a one of a kind supplements package. GO!’s project-based approach clusters the learning objectives around the projects rather than around software features. Teaches students to solve real problems as they practice and learn the features. Ideal for students and individuals seeking an introduction to Internet Explorer.

20 Questions to Ask before Selling on Ebay
Author: Lissa McGrath
With over 80 million registered eBay users in the English speaking countries, consumers are empowered to buy just about anything at a price that's fair. And millions have used eBay to either sell some of the stuff lying around the house, or they make a living utilizing this unique online flea market. The two latest additions to the 20 Questions series break the subject of "eBaying" down into two distinct books for two distinct audiences: eBay buyers and eBay sellers. And if readers were to buy both books, they'd have the complete information on how eBay works and how they could make it work for them.
20 Questions To Ask Before Selling on eBay is designed to take anyone through the steps to sell successfully and profitably. Beginning with how to set up an eBay business and organizing it for success, the book proceeds through how to choose the best products, how to design an attractive and effective listing, getting paid, automating auctions, customer service, and more.
Both 20 Questions eBay books take readers step-by-step through the process, each chapter building on the information taught. The books are written as a fresh and lively narrative, with plenty of bullets, checklists and useful advice learned from the authors' experiences. It's all the information both buyers and sellers need to not only get started, but to do eBay their way!
