 Just a bit Verbose but excellent !!! January 7, 2009
The book is excellent for a new mac user although a bit, just a bit, verbose for my taste.
You will find everything you need as a mac user and even more.
Hints are a revelation while historic notes provides useful background.
If I had to own just one mac osx book, that would be "The missing manual"
Great book! Easy to understand November 26, 2008

I have just bought an unbelievable MacBook, ( I previously owned a G4 running Tiger) I was a bit worried because I know Snow Leopard is on its way in summer 2009, so upgrades will date this book. However this book is easy to understand and full of logical short cuts. The only drawback is that because I have used a Mac for years a lot of the book contains information I know about. I will purchase the IPhoto manual by the same author simply because I was so impressed and I am finding that IPhoto 08 7.1.5 is very different from the IPhoto I had on my G4. This book would make any Mac Leopard owner a great Xmas present.
Excellent system guide! November 16, 2008

Any Mac owner operating their computer using Leopard should have this extremely helpful, floppy volume readily to hand. It takes you effortlessly through the basics, constantly surprises you by revealing information you never suspected is available to you just beneath the surface, provides countless hints and tips to get the most from the system and is a great friend to have in times of need.
Really excellent. Clear and interesting. August 2, 2008

Yeah this is awesome. It can't be easy to make an instruction manual for an operating system interesting, but the author does it somehow. And the detail is great. I've been able to tell experienced MAC OS users a thing or two from having read this book. Recommended.
A must buy for any mac owner June 25, 2008

Having recently taken the plunge to buy my first Mac computer, although the operating system (Leopard) is easy to use, the way of doing things is slightly different. To help me fully migrate, I purchased this book.
This book is a mine of information covering all aspects of the Mac OS, from the very little things like minimising windows to the more complex things like Automation etc. It explains everything in great detail and has lots of screen grabs and illustrations to help. It is clearly laid out and very well indexed, so if you are stuck on an item, you can find the solution rapidly.
This book resides by my computer "just in case" and is highly recommended.
Also, the book is that thick, that you can even use it as a step ladder when not needed.
