No Starch Press Announces Publication of the Definitive Opera 5.x Book
The Ultimate Guide to the Opera Web Browser

San Francisco, CA--Computer book publisher NO STARCH PRESS, INC. and
OPERA SOFTWARE, creators of the Opera Web browser, today announced
the launch of the ultimate guide to using Opera, the widely popular,
small and powerful Web browser. As the world's third most popular
browser, more than 1.5 million users are currently running Opera. THE
OPERA 5.X BOOK, due out this April, shows users how to customize
Opera and take full advantage of its powerful features.

Providing a solid alternative to sluggish, bloated browsers like
Internet Explorer and Netscape, Opera's success is drawing more and
more people each month. And it's no wonder. The Opera browser is
fast, compact, configurable, cross-platform, and more standards-
compliant than competing browsers.

"We're very excited to be supporting Opera with this book," says No
Starch Press publisher William Pollock. "I love the Opera browser
because it lets me cruise the Web at lightspeed-even on a 56k modem.
Unlike IE or Netscape, Opera lets me totally control my Internet
experience. I've turned our whole company on to it. It lets me open
multiple links in one instance, turn images on or off easily, zoom in
or out of documents, save open windows (and reopen them) with one
click, and much more."

THE OPERA 5.X BOOK, by J.S. Lyster, ($29.95 w/CD-ROM, ISBN 1-886411-
47-6, April 2001) shows readers at all levels how to use Opera and
its advanced browsing techniques and customization features.
