The Complete Idiot's Guide to...
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Complete Idiot's Guide to... are reference books that provide a very basic understanding of seemingly difficult topics. This is accomplished by using very basic words and terminology to explain different facets of a topic. Definitions of words, profiles of people and a synopsis of events for context are also provided when necessary. They are very similar to the ...For Dummies books.

[edit] Origin
The guide that brought the series to popularity was The Complete Idiot's Guide to DOS, or "Idiot's DOS" for short because the original cover made "Idiot's" and "DOS" huge in comparison to the rest of the title, the same way that DOS For Dummies popularized the Dummies series.
