Learn More About For Dummies Books

Are you intimidated and confused by things? Do you find that traditional reference books are overloaded with technical details and advice you'll never use? Do you postpone important life decisions because you just don't want to deal with them? Then the For Dummies series of reference books is for you.

For Dummies reference books are written for those frustrated and hard-working souls who know they're not dumb, but find that the technical complexities of computers and the myriad of personal and business issues — and all the accompanying horror stories — make them feel helpless. For Dummies books use a lighthearted approach, a down-to-earth style, and even cartoons and humorous icons to dispel fears and inspire confidence. Lighthearted but not lightweight, For Dummies books are the perfect survival guide for anyone who finds themselves in difficult situations.

About John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

John Wiley & Sons, Inc., was founded in 1807, during the Jefferson presidency. In the early years, Wiley was best known for publishing the works of Washington Irving, Edgar Allan Poe, Herman Melville, and other 19th-century American literary giants. By the turn of the century, Wiley was established as a leading publisher of scientific and technical information.

In recent years, the company has focused its efforts on delivering Wiley's deep reservoir of "must-have" content to global communities of interest. The company has formed many collaborative relationships in order to further this objective; partners include Dow Jones/Wall Street Journal, CNBC, Ernst & Young, and PricewaterhouseCoopers, among others. In 2001, Wiley acquired Hungry Minds, Inc., the largest acquisition in the company's history.
