This is a very informative, illustrated book for the beginner that knows nothing about the I Pod touch. It shows you step by step on how it is done and you should be a proficient I Pod Touch user by the time you finest this book. Geeks my find faults in it but for the beginner or the average user wanting to do more with their I Pod Touch it is a great book.

I found this book at the local B&N and picked it up for my mother. It is the perfect step-by-step book for beginners. It offers full color photos and descriptions for just about anything you can do with the iPod Touch. It's easy to understand and offers a high quality resource at a great price. In fact, I just bought another one on Amazon for my dad! Recommended for beginners only.

5.0 out of 5 stars Extremely helpful!!, January 13, 2010

This review is from: My iPod touch (Paperback)

I bought this book for my daughter along with her new IPod Touch. It's easy to look up items; nothing is better than pictures and diagrams, which Brad has provided. It really takes you step by step and has great problems solving techniques. Don't mess around with other books, buy this one! There is so much to the IPod Touch and this book will take you through all the avenues!!
