Advantages: Clearly written, easy to understand and humourous

Disadvantages: none

These books are absolutely wonderful for novice and experienced users alike. They are found in just about every bookshop with their distinguishable black and yellow covers and they cover every aspect of computing from Windows to upgrading and repairing PC's. I do not consider myself a novice when it comes to computers but when I recently decided to upgrade my old PC I ran into some problems and immediately went out and bought "Upgrading & Fixing PC's for Dummies". This solved my problems and more besides. The books really are written for dummies, even the most stupid of people couldn't help but understand the well written, jargon free instructions and the humour in them is fantastic. They are almost worth reading from cover to cover for the comedy alone!! But, they are never patronising and are a valuable reference book even for experienced users. I have noticed that often n the PC 'world' we are told by experts 'don't touch that' and 'never fiddle with the insides of your PC', but these books say 'go on, take the cover off! You CAN do it yourself' and they are absolutely right!
