 Handy Introduction & Reference Guide February 1, 2010

2 out of 2 found this review helpful
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!

Good as a introduction (not a manual) December 1, 2009

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 :-)
