The idea comes from Kevin Savetz, author of "The Unofficial Internet Booklist", the more extensive bibliography about Internet Books. I have tried to come up with a comprehensive list of non-English books about the Internet. I have added every bit of information that I have either found or received from friends, authors and publishers. Please excuse me if in this version there is more information about Italian Books and Publishers than in other languages. I'm Italian, so you can understand that it's easier for me to find related data regarding my own Country. I hope that whoever reads this document will kindly send me information about Internet books published in non-English languages anywhere in the world. I will appreciate it if you send me book reviews. If you know about a book that may be particularly useful or could have a special meaning for readers, do not hesitate to ask me to publish a review in the section "A very special book". Thanks in advance for all the help that you will be able to provide.

Here is a fascinating book, not merely a guide detailing how to get connected to the Internet, although it also features a wealth of technical data. The book is a journey to the "real" Internet. It travels to the human side of the Net, towards the otherworldly universe of cyberspace, where millions of people can lead a parallel life aside from the "real" one. This book lead us to a world of democracy, a free world, providing a wealth of information that everyone will be able to access and decode. It includes a mervelous love story over the wires, the history of Internet and its pioneers, several peculiar tales in the lives of net-surfers and a diary-like account of exciting experiences while travelling in the Net. In short, this book is the manifesto of the *NeXt Generation*. +-------------------------------------+ | Alphabetical List of Internet Books | +-------------------------------------+ +-----------------+ | Books in French | +-----------------+ Title : Courte information sur le systeme UNIX et les reseaux informatiques (Short introduction to UNIX and computer networks) Author : Marc Schaefer Publisher: ALPHANET NF, Battieux 6c, 2013 COLOMBIER (Switzerland) ISBN : Price : 10 SFr Pages : 90 Published: 1993/95 E-mail : schaefer@alphanet.ch Notes : A beginner introduction to UNIX and an introduction to networking tools (uucp, mail, news, www, ftp, etc.) Over 90 pages.
