Mac Newbie,
By Island Mom (Lopez Island, WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Mac OS X Leopard Book (Paperback)
When a 25 year pc user switches to a Mac there is a definite learning curve. This book was a great place to start. I found many of the shortcuts that Mac users already know, but I couldn't find readily listed anywhere on my Mac. Long time users might find this boring, but it was quite helpful to me as a new user. Good screen photos support the hints and tips, so it's very easy to understand. No long boring explanations, just nice short snippets.

This review is from: The Mac OS X Leopard Book (Paperback)
This book like of of Scott's prior writings is the perfect size and is on a level when anyone can sit down find what they want and get back to what they were doing. Even if reading it as book instead of as a reference it is set up in short chapters so that nothing feels overwhelming. It might be a good idea to have some paper and a pen to takes notes though.

I've Read Most of the OS X/Leopard Books ... BUY THIS ONE!,
By Tim Warneka "Leadership Expert, Keynote Speak... (Cleveland, OH USA) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: The Mac OS X Leopard Book (Paperback)
I'm a new Mac user. Over the past 6 months, I've read most of the OS X books currently on the market. (I'm a geek that way ;-)In my opinion, for a new mac user, this books is the best one. Scott writes simply, plainly and uses easy-to-understand terms. (Plus, his pictures are fun to look at!). If you want to go waaaay under the hood of OS X, then get this book:Mac OS X Leopard: The Missing Manual. If you just want to get up and running quickly, then buy Scott's book. Thanks, Scott! Keep those great books coming!
