Palm Handheld,Fifth Edition In general the book is well organized and lucid. It is easy to read and useful. The only drawback I found was that the Palm T/X is not covered.
Save a tree Agree with others, a well-organized, pretty, but no-depth, chitty-chatty "Dummies" rendition of the manual. For people who like reading about using technology, rather than people who are trying to solve a organizational problem. Read the PDF version of the manual and save a tree.
Don't waste your time. I do not usually leave comments about purchases but this Johnson/Broida offering is so dismal it deserves a mention. You will be much better off with Palm's online documentation/help files and forget about wasting your money on this turkey. Truly a real disappointment.
No fault for Amazon....delivery was, as usual, very fast
Better than others of its kind, but still basic This is for a new or unsophisticated user of Palm OS devices. There really isn't anything here that can't be found in the Palm reference manual or in the online Palm forums.
But everything is presented in a crisp manner with more than adequate illustrations. And it really does cover literally everything the average user can do with the Palm OS.
Someone new to Palm or those who have hesitated to explore the boundaries of the Palm OS will find this book helpful, more helpful than many others of the same kind.

Save your money The title says "How". There does not appear to be a lot of that inside this book. There is a lot of "jive stuff" between or about the authors that could have been better spent doing more of the "How" instead of the "jive". I have read a lot of technical and software books in the last 30 years and this one goes to the bottom of the list.
