Product Description
With so many books out there on Mac OS X Leopard, what makes this one better and different is its focus. While other Leopard books can regularly be 500-plus pages, this book cuts through all the technical jargon and gives you exactly what you want: the most important, most requested, and just plain coolest things about Leopard that will change the way you work on your Mac. With Leopard's newest features, this book will show you how to customize your workspace with Spaces, search and view your files fast with Quick Look, restore any file on your system with Time Machine, and much more. Each page covers just one topic, complete with full-color photos and screenshots, making it easy to find what you're looking for fast.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mac Newbie, July 9, 2008
By Island Mom (Lopez Island, WA) - See all my reviews
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic!!, June 6, 2008
By C. Greene (Lebanon, PA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars I've Read Most of the OS X/Leopard Books ... BUY THIS ONE!, September 26, 2008
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!

Regards,

Tim Warneka, author
