Windows 7: A REALLY good book on Windows 7 ?

Windows 7 Home Premium came with this machine. So far I love it,but I'm on a learning curve,having used XP Pro for 7 years.




Went out and bought "Windows 7 For Dummies"; it's been of limited help.I want something a bit more advanced/thorough,especially in terms of fixing problems and getting the most out of my machine..

Googling found a book called 'Windows 7: The Definitive Book" by William Stanek. Best price so far is $69.95,from The Book Depository ,in England (free p&h)

I'd be most grateful for opinions and advice about this book,or indeed,a better one.The price is about what I expected.

I bought this one, in the early release stages. Darn! Now its free.
My “Windows 7 Power Users Guide” eBook is Now FREE*|*Mike Halsey's The Long Climb – PC help, support and more…

Check out the Tutorial section of this forum. Lots of good work done by members of this forum and covers 100's of topics.

Yes, the Tutorials ARE the e-Book on Windows 7.

Thanks guys,exactly the kind of thing I was after.

I'll start with the ebook;I recently bought a kindle.

That free e-book is in PDF format. I use free NitroPDF.

The Internet. Books just regurgitate stuff that's already available, and lot of people overlook the intro to Windows material available that comes with Windows.

Can't say I can recommend 'Windows 7 Tweaks' by Steve Sinchak since apart from a few points nothing much to learn that wasn't already known from XP - for me at least.

Experience is the best teacher.

You never need books to learn about Windows. The best way to get used to Windows 7 is to use it, and ask questions as you come across them.
