Here is an article on the basics of timesharing written by the Federal Trade Commission of the US government.

FTC article (Link updated 14 Jun 2017)
[In addition, here's a link to timeshare-related search results on the FTC site. - Makai Guy]


In addition to the article by the FTC, I always suggest to Newbies that they read the great advice article here on TUG called Timeshare 101 by Steve Nelson. LINK
