Great for new mac users - 2009-10-26
Reviewer Rating:
I bought this book after looking at several at the local book stores and asking my teacher at the Mac "genius bar" what he recommended. It is making my pc to mac transition totally painless using simple instructions and great illustrations. I would definitely buy more of Robin Williams' books after I master the basics.

The little Max bok - 2009-09-14
Reviewer Rating:
this is an informative book to use as Mac Book does not come with a manual. Unfortunately, mine came with a torn cover as the packing some how tore and therby tore the

cover--only slightly but it did arrive torn.

Great Reference Book - 2009-11-17
Reviewer Rating:
Being new to computers and at an age when my memory is a little dull-I like having this book on hand for the basic questions. I apparently thought I was ordering the leopard edition when I must have been looking at the tiger reviews. I was disappointed in that but it still has information that I needed and it is presented in a way that makes learning this computer stuff not so scary to me. It helped me loosen up and I like the way Robin Williams leads me through practice runs so that I'm not just reading about it. The shipping from the seller I used was very slow and I will not order from them again, but the book itself was in good shape and the price was good. Thanks Amazon!

ONLY FOR SOMEONE WHO JUST BOUGHT THEIR 1ST APPLE - 2009-10-28
Reviewer Rating:
We actually bought our Apple several months and know all the basic stuff. This book was recommended to us when we first bought it, but we waited. Unfortunately, too long. This is a good book to learn the basics of Apple, but not for more involved aspects. For example, if you want to learn about photos, they only refer you to another book.
