Mac OS X Leopard For Dummies

is the fun and friendly way to have your Leopard purring in no time.

This is a good guide, very basic though. The writer talks like this is your first time with a machine. Very visual also. Perfect for perfect beginners.

Just a great easy to understand foundation knowledge book on the subject matter. It will take me months to sort through and learn. With an OS as complex as this one is, this book sits right next to the Mac mini to solve my issues and learn more every week.

This book is really no different from his book on the last Mac operating system. He's really just a cheer leader for Apple. I tried his web site then phoned with a question, and got NO reply. Save your money. There has to be a better book out there on Macs.
