A great many "Internet business" books seem to concentrate on a few sites from
which you can obtain service, or from which you can order supplies, or of
companies which do business online.  Emery and Vincent have compiled a
tremendous repository of services, information and programs which are directly
of *use* to businesses.  News, tools, startup info, marketing aids, tools for
sales reps, tools for retailers, accounting, tax info, investing, international
contacts, law, purchasing, transport, manufacturing, economics, and even a
special chapter for businesswomen.  This "stuff" really is oriented to
business.
 
An extremely useful addition is chapter two, on the tools for finding
information, people and files on the net.  The book is up to date enough to
cover Alta Vista, although the authors' lack of familiarity shows.  Not as
complete, perhaps, as "Finding it on the Internet" (cf. BKFNDINT.RVW), but,
hey, it's only one chapter.
 
Another helpful characteristic is the use of flags to denote items that would
be of interest only to those in a particular country (or state).  These save
time by eliminating those entries which would *not* be of use to everyone. 
(This is a very welcome development: all too many American writers assume that
if it is useful in the US, *everyone* must be interested!)
 
Definitely a resource I can recommend to any businessperson.
