Pretty good but not great [Posted on 2008-01-04] All of the new Mac Leopard books are lacking in some way or another and this book is no exception. Mac for dummies does cover many topics in great detail but falls short of explaining some of Leopards programs such as iCal. In fact, the only thing I found in the book about iCal is a sentence that says what its for. Nothing else. If this bit is not very important to you, than it is a pretty good user guide. If you are interested in actually learning to use the features of ALL of the software that this operating system comes with (like iCal) than please take a look at Mac OS X Leopard : The Missing Manual. I've been a pretty loyal dummies fan for years and this book was kind of a disapointed.
Worth buying [Posted on 2008-02-13] MacOS X Leopard for Dummies is a must have book. It's a good read and will answer almost every question you may have.
Leopard Review [Posted on 2008-06-25] I found that the "Dummy" books were very helpful with my old Mac/Office software, and l purchased this book on that basis. So far, it has been most helpful on my iMac/Office 2008 setup, clarifying procedures and capabilities, and helping me in understanding the systems. I recommend it. However, there are some features of Leopard for which you might want to obtain additional, more specific and detailed, instructions.
