Don't be a Dummie and Buy It [Posted on 2008-01-20]
I am a first time Mac owner, and I thought this would be just what I needed. IF the author spent less time on being cute, and more on being informative, it might work. There were so many things that were barely touched on including "Mail" that if you are a first time Mac user this book does little to make you feel comfortable with it. Spend a few more dollars and get the "The Missing Manual Leopard Edition. David Pogue takes up almost 900 pages to explain what you need to know as opposed to "Dummies" 450 pages.

Leopard manual [Posted on 2008-02-08]
This manual seems thorough and well written, full of information, but a problem seems to be that when you come down to details, they're hard to find. Maybe a problem with all manuals, not just David Pogue. For example, as a new Mac user, I have trouble figuring out how to delete things, and how to change their names without re-saving, and haven't found help here. There is also no mention of Office for Mac, which surely most Leopard users use, and where these details are especially important.

Very well written. All your questions are answered. Loaded with info that Apple should have given out with every new computer running leopard. Just buy it. you wont be sorry. Pay no attention to any bad reviews.

The real thing... [Posted on 2008-05-27]
This is a very helpful Dummies book. I read it cover to cover and continually use it as a reference.

Good enough. [Posted on 2008-07-11]
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.
