A Little Bit of Everything For Dummies.  Twenty years ago the very first For Dummies book, DOS For Dummies, was published. From that first printing of that first book came a series unlike anything in the publishing world, one that is global in both geography – we have been published worldwide in some 30 languages – and in coverage. No single volume can hope to summarize what thousands of titles have meant to millions of readers over the years, and we don’t claim to do that in this e-book. Rather, this e-book celebrates the breadth and depth of the For Dummies series, offering 20 chapters – in honor of our 20 years – from a list of books compiled by our global colleagues. We are confident the chapters we’ve included give you a representative glimpse at why – no matter what the topic – our products have meant so much to so many by Making Everything Easier.
