I mentioned to a friend today that I just finished writing my second computer book in the For Seniors series from Wiley. The new book is Windows 7 For Seniors For Dummies and the previous one is Digital Photography For Seniors For Dummies
. As most people do, my friend asked me what distinguishes the For Seniors series.
The For Seniors books feature step-by-step instructions that tell the reader just what he or she needs to know to complete a specific task. These books don’t include a lot of extra discussion or broad context. (I really had to rein in my desire to tell people four ways to do everything – I like knowing lots of different ways to do things, and knowing more than one way is often practical.) That said, the truth is these books are no more limited to Seniors than they are For Dummies. (I hate the series name, but For Dummies are among the most successful books.) The Seniors books are for any reader who wants step-by-step instructions (in a larger than standard font size) along with large illustrations of what you see on-screen.
