Suggestion Box -- Submit ideas for a Hacks title or ideas about the series in general.
"Google Hacks" is an excellent industrial strength tips and tools book that both the novice newbie as well as the seasoned veteran will appreciate and keep next to their computer as a important search reference! Definitely appreciate and enjoy the no nonsense to the point style of information delivery offered by this book!
The information, layout and format of the book all relate to obtaining information quickly and concisely in the same way that it shows one to receive the same from Google(tm). I consider "Google Hacks" to be a "must have" for anyone interested in searching the Internet using Google(tm) as their primary source! I will mention it in my national speeches and talk show interviews.
-- Marcus P. Zillman, M.S., A.M.H.A. on Google Hacks
This is one of the best books I've laid my hands on. It is small but the quality and level of technical details in many tips are just too good. Most notable are the tips on backing up, ssh and various other hacks with perl, shell scripts, apache etc. Any system administrator with about 1-2 years of experience would definitely appreciate most of the cool hacks in this book. Great work by the
author.
