5.0 out of 5 stars Just the facts, M'aam, May 9, 2008

This review is from: Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard: Visual QuickStart Guide (Paperback)
Maria Langer's Mac OS X 10,5 Leopard is excellent for detailed information, presented straightforwardly and without embellishment. Contrast it to David Pogue's "Mac OS X Leopard--The Missing Manual, which is, as ever, wildly entertaining,but somewhat less effective in presentation.
Langer's book allows you to look up something quickly, while Pogue's is more of a good (tech) read at the beach.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best MAC OS X Book, May 27, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard: Visual QuickStart Guide (Paperback)
We purchased several other OS X 10.5 books but this one is the best by far. The book is structured for learning and reference with examples and text on the same page. The book also demonstrates just about any thing you may want to do in concise straight forward language with clear examples. For the beginner or intermediate this book is excellent.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book!, May 8, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard: Visual QuickStart Guide (Paperback)
I own several Visual Quickstart Guides. This book is very well done.. like most of them. This is a great non-sense book on "how to" do the most common tasks in Leopard. Well worth the money.
