About the Author
Bart G. Farkas is the author of more than 90 books, most of which are strategy guides for computer and video games, but he has produced a reasonable catalog of technology books as well, such as Secrets of Podcasting: Audio Blogging for the Masses and The BlackBerry Pearl Pocket Guide.

A former registered nurse, pilot, musician, and petroleum transfer technician, he spends his time writing fiction and nonfiction books in the idyllic climes of Cochrane, Alberta, in the company of his wife, three children, and two cats.

With the success of the Nintendo Wii, many upcoming owners are having a very tough time on finding the new game system, and deciding if it is the right system for them. This book The Nintendo Wii Pocket Guide, is a simple and easy reflection about what the Nintendo Wii is all about. It is also easy to highlight all the simple instructions on how to operate the new system, and each of the simple parts of the system, from the virtual console and Wii Shop channel where you can download games like Super Mario 64, to a quick how to guide on what games are best suited for the system, and all the kinks of extras like the Internet Channel. It is a quirky and convient guide for anyone who has bought the system used without instructions, or if you're planning on buying Nintendo's dynamic console. I realy like how simple the book is, and it is a great buy.
