3.0 out of 5 starsSnow Leopard Visual Guide with a little bit of MacBook thrown in
By Karl VINE VOICE on May 8, 2010
Format: Paperback Vine Customer Review of Free Product ( What's this? )
The title of this book and the editorial description are both lame. This is not a book about using (just) your MacBook - but, rather, a Snow Leopard-specific introduction to using any Mac. The only thing that is really MacBook specific - vs iMac or Mac Pro - is the brief illustration that shows what the various ports are.

This book is only for you if you have an Intel Mac running Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6).

Note, too, that every Mac comes with iLife, yet this book does not make mention of any of the iLife applications.

While beautifully laid out and illustrated with screen captures, the editorial content of the book seems to have not been reviewed by a Mac expert, as there are numerous issues throughout that are either awkward, or not appropriate for a typical user.

In the first pages, the author notes the use of context menus via clicking a right mouse button, but does not note that with certain Apple mice, the right button must be enabled in the System Preferences first. He then talks about control-clicking (the way to get a secondary click with a single / left mouse button) on the trackpad - and does not mention the more convenient trackpad methods until much later in Chapter 8.

He notes that folders can be dragged to the dock, but does not point out that they can only be dragged to the right side of the dock only. This is unfortunately typical of the almost-correct instructions throughout the book that a knowledgeable reviewer / editor might have helped smooth out.

On page 23, in a sidebar box called "Remember your Gestures!", Ray talks about four-finger swipe, etc., on the trackpad - but he does not introduce these until pages 213-214 in Chapter 8. Even there, they are not adequately described.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsThe Must Have Book for OS X Mavericks
By Desert Rat on December 27, 2013
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
I am a new Mac user and find this book to be my "guide". The book is clearly written and has great illustrations that guide you through the various aspects of OS X. The index is complete which allows you to find specific topics.

...VERY basic. Unless you have never used a computer, this book isn't going to help much.
I should rephrase this...if you never used a Macbook, this might help.
Good book, just more basic than what I wanted...

By Alicia on March 20, 2014
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I was lucky enough to find this book on amazon they were asking a astronomical price for it at other stores. Having just got my MacBook Pro this passed Christmas this book has been extremely helpful for me to learn and trouble shoot anything I could possibly think of for my computer. It's easy to understand and great for quick referencing. Thank you!

3.0 out of 5 starsIt's OK, But There's a Better Alternative
By "Big A" on December 21, 2014
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Nothing terribly wrong with this book, but the David Pogue Missing Manual book for Mavericks (and the soon to be released Yosemite Missing Manual) is more thorough, better organized, and more helpful overall.

5.0 out of 5 starsA very good guide to Mountain Lion
By Richard Hurley on March 29, 2013
Format: Paperback
I teach Mac OS and have been looking for a "recommended reading" book for my intermediate Mountain Lion class. This is it.

There is little in this book so specific to laptops that I would hesitate to recommend it to a desk-top only student. It is really about the OS, and it does a beautiful job introducing the power of OSX 10.8. Almost every page of the book contains numerous full-color illustrations that hold the reader's hand while marching them through operations on the Mac. I am experienced in printing costs, and I wonder that a book so laden with color can be offered to the market at such a reasonable price. It also happens to be very well laid out. Clean and simple. You can read it in a crowded, noisy restaurant and follow the argument easily.

The review before mine notes that some of the illustrations are so small as to be difficult to read. This is a fair criticism, but is more than outweighed by the virtues of this very ambitious visual training manual. Considering what the author attempted, this book is a brilliant success. Yes, there are warts, but they are few and not consequential.

If you need a compendious OSX 10.8 resource, I would recommend David Pogue's "Missing Manual." If you need to dip your head quickly and effectively into the features of Mountain Lion, I heartily recommend this book.

Be warned, though, that this is not a beginner's book. It assumes basic familiarity with computing in general. And the author has perhaps erred in putting network configuration toward the beginning of the book, which is a challenging subject even to veterans. Don't let this mis-step deter you, however. This book is a great guide to Mac's latest OS, which is well worth studying in depth. I can't recall a book that takes a student farther or faster into a new operating system.
