I first got this book out of the library and was impressed with how easy it was to use. I could type a little but not touch-typing. When I stuck to it, my touch-typing improved dramatically. I have never taken typing lessons and being middle-aged, was afraid I'd never be any good at typing, let alone touch-typing. The author teaches you not only typing but about the keyboard, the best way to sit while typing and other useful information. I especially like how you must look at the book to do the lessons, rather than the screen. I definitely recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn how to touch-type.
Everything involving this book was easy. It's nice, not too big, and has great excercises for anyone beginning to type or wanting to improve their typing skills.
The only way for me to learn this is by rote (developing muscle memory). The exercises make sense. I practice about 30 minutes a day (I'm old with arthritis: great exercise for my joints). Old fashioned learning..no bells & whistles. Just what I was looking for.
Very easy to follow. I order this book to practice and build up my speed that I lost in my previous job. This book have some sections that may not be up to date but it served my purpose.I will recommend this book to others.
This book will stand alone so it's easy to place on your desk top. Great learning tool, very easy on the eyes for a middle age person.
doesn't show proper placement (which fingers for which keys) aside from home keys & a few others.
This is an excellent book for learning touch typing. I took a typing course in high school many years ago so I know how to touch type. I bought this book as a present for my grandchildren so they could learn a valuable skill. So far I haven't received any feedback and am afraid to ask.
great book for a senior trying to im prove their typing skills.
