Reception

Within 6 weeks of the initial publication on March 7, 1994, the Canadian Internet Handbook was the number 1 best selling book according to The Globe and Mail and the National Post.[1] Reviews of the initial and later editions were mostly favorable, citing the expertise of the authors as well as the comprehensiveness of the books.[2][3] Success continued throughout the 1990s, but the dot-com bubble of 2001 eventually resulted in the downfall of the series. No further editions were released.[1]
