Hi

It a nice book especially if your (as me) are comming form the MS Vista (nightmare) OS. I am new to the Mac OS X, at the small book helped me a lot. Beware it is by no means a manual (lack of details etc.). Easy to carry with you and your MacBook Pro :-)

Great little reference book. You can learn much by just glancing through the pages. If you're a Mac user, it's the little bit extra you need for all the new secrets in Snow Leopard.

Handy Introduction & Reference Guide - 2010-02-01
Reviewer Rating:
I just finished reading this from cover to cover. I would have to say, it is probably the best introduction book I have read to any version of Mac OS X.

Pro's:
It's size - packed full of information, yet not overwhelming.
Great reference for those new to the Mac.
Great keyboard shortcut reference for anyone who uses a Mac.


Con's:
Typo's, and I mean I stopped counting after 50!
Grammatical error's! Enough of them to annoy you!
Technical error's, however nothing not easily figured out on your own.

All in all, it's a great introduction read for anyone new to the Mac!
I would have given it 5-Stars, had it not been for the laziness exhibited by the editors!

Can't find things in the index... - 2010-01-26

A great book, but it's difficult to find things using its index... the page numbers in the index are not correct, sometimes they are 10's of pages off! I can't give this many stars because of that. Sorry. I've spent hours trying to find what I'm looking for because of this.
