Our Heartful Thanks to Mr. Hart


Having written his "Grandpa and the Computer" book when he was 82 years old in 2001, our truly senior author has decided to hang up his author hat now, in January 2007! His "senior to senior" computer lesson book was hailed by experts, readers, and the press alike at its publication in 2002. Sandy Berger, AARP's reviewer, had this to say:

"With a down to earth, witty writing style, James Hart tells you where to start first (no surprise, it is turning on the computer) and continues right on through the learning process. His instructions make computing easy, fruitful, and fun rather than hard and complicated. Because it worked for him, Hart explains how to unlock the Internet and e-mail world. His loneliness vanished when he was e-mailing pen pals, family, and friends. Next, he concentrates on Search and the Web browser program, opening up a whole new world.

Conquering the computer was a job well done. Writing this book was another job well done. Hart’s approach deserves my Compu-KISS® of approval. My Compu-KISS® philosophy of "The Computer World, Keeping It Short and Simple" goes hand in hand with Mr. Hart’s approach. His "Grandpa and the Computer" removes the intimidating aspects of computers and shows how computers can open a new world to anyone at any age. His invitation to join him in the computing world is warm and convincing."

"Grandpa and the Computer" was also recommended by Sree, the Tech Guru of WABC/Channel 7 "As a book you may want to get for seniors who are new to computers."

It has been our privilege to be your publisher, Grandpa Hart!
