From the (Archive e-)Bookshelf: Net Trek

I’ve been poking my way through the books to be borrowed from the Internet Archive for a while now, just perhaps still concerned about the trouble kicked up when its borrowing limits were removed “for the emergency” last year. In the process of that, I stumbled across a title that brought me back quite a few years. In the first flush of general kicked-up interest about the Internet that got me to the point of being able to connect as well, I’d happened on a “online resources guide” titled Net Trek (although I had to look past its front cover to find that particular capitalization). Its particular narrowing focus did happen to sit well with me, and I did page through it a few times in bookstores at university and elsewhere, although having been pointed to actual online directories through my family’s “how to get your Mac online” book I’d never thought I needed to actually buy this particular volume. Having another chance after so many years to revisit it, though, did amuse me.
