Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Peachpit's "Visual Quickstart" guides are real meat-and-potatoes works for beginners. Nothing fancy to be found here, just one annotated screen shot after another. An advanced user will finish one of these books during a two-hour airplane ride; beginners will need a day. But everyone will welcome the purely practical approach.
