Mac OS X Leopard- The Missing Manual2009-06-30
This book should be in the box with the new computer, but it isn't. A must even for a seasoned Mac user. Without it one will be left in the dark about a lot of things about this new operating system.
mac os x leopard/ the missing manual2009-06-26
this is my second mac and i decided i really need to find out how to use the thing!!!! there are so many things i've been missing out on and this manual is taking me through getting to know my mac step by step. it's also a great reference guide, if i want to find out how to do something quickly or solve a problem. if it's mac, it's in this tome.
Everything you need2009-05-30
I bought this when I upgraded from OS 10.4 to 10.5, and had this author's previous book. Basically, it covers pretty much any topic that (I haven't yet come up short when I looked for something), in enough detail to satisfy anyone but a programmer. It's a big book, and I honestly can't imagine finding a reason to buy another...until the next OS upgrade!
Pogue's "missing manuals" are great!2009-05-27
The title says it all: electronic manufacturers just don't bother to produce detailed instruction manuals any more, and Pogue has admirably filled the gap. This is my third purchase of one of his books, and they have all been consistently invaluable.
Great book for a Mac beginner2009-05-22
I am finding this book very helpful in learning Mac OS X. I come from a heavy Windows backgroud, but I have no problem reading this book and practicing the things that I am learning on a Mac laptop I purchased off of Craigslist. I would recommend this book to anyone seeking to learn Mac OS X.
