Tracey Moore (Memphis, TN)
“I am an avid fan of your Visual books. If I need to learn anything, I just buy one of your books and learn the topic in no time. Wonders! I have even trained my friends to give me Visual books as gifts.”
Illona Bergstrom (Aventura, FL)
“Thank you for making it so clear. I appreciate it. I will buy many more Visual books.”
J.P. Sangdong (North York, Ontario, Canada)
“I have several books from the Visual series and have always found them to be valuable resources.”
Stephen P. Miller (Ballston Spa, NY)
“Thank you for the wonderful books you produce. It wasn’t until I was an adult that I discovered how I learn — visually. Nothing compares to Visual books. I love the simple layout. I can just grab a book and use it at my computer, lesson by lesson. And I understand the material! You really know the way I think and learn. Thanks so much!”
Stacey Han (Avondale, AZ)
“I absolutely admire your company’s work. Your books are terrific. The format is perfect, especially for visual learners like me. Keep them coming!”
Frederick A. Taylor, Jr. (New Port Richey, FL)

Gay O’Donnell (Calgary, Alberta, Canada)
“I write to extend my thanks and appreciation for your books. They are clear, easy to follow, and straight to the point. Keep up the good work! I bought several of your books and they are just right! No regrets! I will always buy your books because they are the best.”
Seward Kollie (Dakar, Senegal)
“Compliments to the chef!! Your books are extraordinary! Or, simply put, extra-ordinary, meaning way above the rest! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! I buy them for friends, family, and colleagues.”
Christine J. Manfrin (Castle Rock, CO)
“What fantastic teaching books you have produced! Congratulations to you and your staff. You deserve the Nobel Prize in Education in the Software category. Thanks for helping me understand computers.”
Bruno Tonon (Melbourne, Australia)
“Over time, I have bought a number of your ‘Read Less - Learn More’ books. For me, they are THE way to learn anything easily. I learn easiest using your method of teaching.”
José A. Mazón (Cuba, NY)
“I am an avid purchaser and reader of the Visual series, and they are the greatest computer books I’ve seen. The Visual books are perfect for people like myself who enjoy the computer, but want to know how to use it more efficiently. Your books have definitely given me a greater understanding of my computer, and have taught me to use it more effectively. Thank you very much for the hard work, effort, and dedication that you put into this series.”
Alex Diaz (Las Vegas, NV)
