I just sat at Borders and read through this for 20 minutes. I love the way it is written and the step by step flow of the book. I have never used Garage Band but after looking through the book I am going to give it a shot. I found quite a few hints that I did not know about and have put to use. If you are looking for a step by step book on ILife 09 that is not complicated this is your book. I just got home and ordered it from Amazon and saved $10.

I bought this because it was the first book published about ILife 09. I am a windows person that made the switch to a mac book and will never go back. This book is short and too the point with actual step by step processes. It is easy to understand and easy to learn. It is a great reference book.

I like this book a lot. In the past I have used the iLife series by Heid and always found his books helpful. When iLife 09 came on the market Heid still had not published so I went with iLife '09 Protable Genius. I am happy to report that it works perfectly for me and I will give Portable Genius consideration in other areas. I used it principally for iMovie and have not read the other chapters.

This was exactly what I was looking for! Informative and easy to read, it addresses the basics of iLife, without the specificity of the PDF manual.

This is a straightforward, no nonsense guide to the complete suite of iLife applications. Concise explanations accompanied by clear illustrations make this a very useful guide. Covers all the basics and more convenient than constantly referring to the iLife Help menu.

Great addition to iLife bookshelf. Covers all feature, many tips and tricks, and is fair at mentioning shortcomings too. Seems to cover beginner and intermediate FAQs, but advanced users might find it a bit light. It was just what we wanted for a department of newbies.

This book is very helpful in using my new upgrade to iLife '09. It is easy to understand and the photos of each screen are great for "visual learners" like me.

I use this book as reference to help me to find answers when I am stumped. It has helped me and has not let me down. I recommend it.
