This review is from: iWork '09 Portable Genius (Paperback)
I wish I had saved my money on I-Work '09 as well as this tutorial and stuck with Microsoft Office 2011!

"Portable Genius", indeed. It doesn't even tell us how to print an envelope or mailing labels.

Having owned Macs for eleven years, I never thought I would turn against any of Apple's issues, but Pages and this book put my blood pressure over the top.
