About For Dummies Books:
The popular, best-selling series of books all started with "DOS for Dummies", a simple user guide to explain how a computer operating system from the early 1980s worked. John Kilcullen, creator of the Dummies series wanted to fill a need for customers who were looking for what they described as "something real simple, for Dummies."
After much success, Kilcullen sold the company to publishers John Wiley & Sons in 2001 and so far, the books have been published in 30 languages - including Farsi and Chinese. The books outline steps for its reader to learn about everything from health to history, music to math, travel to technology, with one book sold every minute in Canada!
With simple language and to the point information, the books are reader-friendly, featuring bold marker icons, groups of related chapters and a section at the end where references are usually listed for further study with little pieces of fun information.
Now, almost 20 years after that first strange but very popular book was released, the iconic yellow-and-black series is still going strong with more than 1,800 titles and 250 million books in print.
Excerpts taken from "Dummies books still flourish, even though we don't need to know about DOS anymore" by Paul Irish, Toronto Star (published online in thestar.com, Sunday September 25, 2011)
