3.0 out of 5 stars A Little Extra Help for beginners, February 6, 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Apple TV For Dummies (Paperback)
This book would be helpful for someone unfamiliar on how to hook up items to their TV. ( like me). I gave this to my husband who had no experience with Apple items for Christmas. He told me that he has NOT had to refer to this book yet, that the directions on how to set up and use Apple TV were self explanatory. He is very happy with Apple TV and my techie brother is due to purchase one for his home ASAP.

3.0 out of 5 stars Just OK not great, December 14, 2009

Carey "IT Guy" (Monroe Twp, NJ United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Apple TV For Dummies (Paperback)
This book is about as good as the manual you get with the Apple TV product itself. It is too simplistic and doesn't really cover anything new. I liked the Apple TV Pocket Guide much better. I can't recommend this book unless you get it at a discounted price.
