Also based in New York, Hungry Minds was best known as the publisher of the "For Dummies" series of how-to books but ... published the Bible and the Visual technological series for programmers, Cliffs Notes study guides, Frommer's travel guides, Betty Crocker and Weight Watchers cookbooks, and Webster's New World dictionaries.
