1.0 out of 5 stars Not for Mac OS-X, May 6, 2007

Outdated and obsolete. Of little use for my new iMac running on OS-X. Amazon was gracious enough to take the book back and refund my money.

This review is from: iMac For Dummies, 4th Edition (Paperback)

I recently bought an IMAC and knew nothing about it. This book is a excellent book if you are new to Mac. This books literally breaks down everything, it even give you shortcuts to different functions. I recommend this book if you know absolutly nothing about a mac. Glad I purchased this book! Actually I made a lot of For Dummies books purchases and found them to be very helpful. I would recommend any for dummies book if you want to become more knowledgeable about anything.

Good tool. Not as funny as earlier dummies books on Mac's. It was slighty outdated, as my new IMac had newer items included, that were not in book. Still would recommend.
