Carlson does not fall short of the other respected titles in the Visual QuickStart series. For starters, "Handspring Visor: Visual QuickStart Guide" is very well-organized, making it appealing to those peck and hunt readers, or for those that may use the title as a reference book.
Carlson provides sufficient detail of the Palm OS, but unlike "Palm Organizers: VQSG", the author is able to delve into the idiosynchcrasies of only the Handspring Visor Family. Detailed tips and tricks are far beyond that which is contained in the user guide that comes with your new Visor handheld.
While no reference material can possibly tell you all of the things you can accomplish with your Handspring Visor, Carlson does a superb job of opening your eyes to the path of enlightenment that there's more out there besides your date book, address book, and memo pad. Heck - I'm still reeling that my stylus also has a screw driver and a hidden "tip" to help reset my Visor Deluxe.
