Great to get this book! - 2007-12-26
Reviewer Rating:
It is fun to read this colourful book. In addition to the fully illustrated steps with simple instructions, I find the 'tips' and 'notes' for working with the Mac OS Leopard very useful. I like to recommend this book particularly to first time Mac users. It has enabled me to start using my MacBook quickly.

A blessing in disguise - 2008-05-31
Reviewer Rating:
I found Kate BInder's book on OS X Leopard just great because it is clear-cut, direct to the point and succinct. It helps me out at every turn when I tend to mess up. Any ding-dong can follow the instructions and succeed working on the Mac.

Absolutely Basic - 2008-01-15
Reviewer Rating:
This book is almost no help as it is absolutely basic, and does not tackle handling of any problems.
If I was not living overseas I might have thought about returning it the moment I flipped through the pages.

Super help. Walks you through everything you need to get started. I liked it so much I bought an additional copy for my brother as he switched to Mac.
