...For Dummies Series

[Katattack]

Well, I'm interested in buying a couple of these "...For Dummies" books, but before I spend any money, I'd like to know just how helpful the series really is.

Are these books generally pretty informative?

Would the "Complete Idiot's Guide To..." be a better choice?

....say wuh? .-.
Is this a legit book series, or those types of things that randomly come out like; "Piano for dummies"?

^ Summary for the series. They're supposed to be pretty useful, but I've only ever read a bit of the "Japanese for Dummies" that my friend bought, and I don't know for sure how great they are.

I have Shamanism for Idioits.

Great title, ne?

Anyway, my brother just got Linux for Dummies.

He says it's pretty good.

=D Thanks for the input.

I'm still gonna wait though. Half because I have very little money, half because I'd still like more opinions. xD
