- In the last three months, the Canadian Internet Handbook has established
- itself as a genuine Canadian publishing phenomenon. It has been on the
- Toronto Star's National Bestseller List for the last two months, and
- for six consecutive weeks, the book was the #1 selling non-fiction
- paperback in Canada. The authors believe it to be the first
- Internet book ever published to reach the #1 position on a general
- bestseller list. The Canadian Internet Handbook has also achieved
- bestseller status in several other prominent Canadian newspapers,
- including the Financial Post, Ottawa Citizen, and the Globe and Mail.

- This is a significant accomplishment for a country the size of Canada.

- Canadian Gopher servers, WWW servers, and Internet-accessible library
- catalogues. The book also includes a detailed listing of Canadian
- Usenet groups, and a list of over 700 organizations that are using the
- Internet in Canada. Other chapters discuss such topics as "What's
- Wrong With the Internet?", and "Where is the Internet Going in
- Canada?" The book covers all the popular Internet tools - Mail,
- Telnet, FTP, Gopher, WAIS, WWW - and provides many examples of how
- Canadian businesses and individuals are using the Internet. Shell
