In March 1995, Que books released Using UseNet Newsgroups, by Kate
Gregory, Noel Estabrook, Jim Mann, and Tim Parker (ISBN 0-7897-0134-0.)
This 350 page book is not an introduction to all of the Internet, but rather to that
corner of the net called Usenet, UseNet, Internet newsgroups, or just plain news
Que's Using... series of books are designed to be easy to read. Using UseNet
Newsgroups starts with an introduction to UseNet, its history and culture, and how to
use news to learn about news through FAQ lists, which answer Frequently Asked Questions.
We also highlight "common newbie mistakes" and point the way to the information
you really need from the net.
Once the groundwork is laid, we cover getting Usenet access, choosing a newsreader, and
detailed instructions and examples for WinVN, a popular Windows newsreader, and
NewsWatcher, a popular reader for the Mac. We even cover how to set up your own site, and
how to start a new newsgroup if none of the 13,000 or so that already exist cover your pet
topic.
