Many people leave their real identity behind when they go online, but Naked
In Cyberspace by Carole Lane helps redress the balance. The book is a gold mine
of sources of Net-based personal information about pretty much anyone.
Interested in Barbra Streisand’s political contributions? No problem. The
emphasis is on the US, but the book teaches you how to look, so just a little
experience will lead you to other sources. Published by Pemberton Press,
$29.95, ISBN 0 910965 17 X.
