Product Description: With so many books out there on Mac OS X Leopard, what makes this one better and different is its focus. While other Leopard books can regularly be 500-plus pages, this book cuts through all the technical jargon and gives you exactly what you want: the most important, most requested, and just plain coolest things about Leopard that will change the way you work on your Mac. With Leopard's newest features, this book will show you how to customize your workspace with Spaces, search and view your files fast with Quick Look, restore any file on your system with Time Machine, and much more. Each page covers just one topic, complete with full-color photos and screenshots, making it easy to find what you're looking for fast.
Just what a new Mac User Needs! I recently ordered my first Apple - a MacBook Pro and ordered the OS X Leopard book at the same time. This guide is just what the new Mac user needs. The format of one task to one page makes it a great flip open "quick-start" guide. The book isn't expensive, it's easy to read and navigate, and it's just fun. If you are brand new to the Mac, I can't recommend this book highly enough!
Mac Newbie When a 25 year pc user switches to a Mac there is a definite learning curve. This book was a great place to start. I found many of the shortcuts that Mac users already know, but I couldn't find readily listed anywhere on my Mac. Long time users might find this boring, but it was quite helpful to me as a new user. Good screen photos support the hints and tips, so it's very easy to understand. No long boring explanations, just nice short snippets.
It's ok Scott Kelby is an excellent writer i have a bunch of his books, but this book is more of the same thing. It is good for new users to the mac but if you have been using a mac for some time skip it and get something that has more in depth info on the mac.
Fantastic!! This book like of of Scott's prior writings is the perfect size and is on a level when anyone can sit down find what they want and get back to what they were doing. Even if reading it as book instead of as a reference it is set up in short chapters so that nothing feels overwhelming. It might be a good idea to have some paper and a pen to takes notes though.
